> The political spectrum is shifted far more right in the US than in Europe Is it Farage, Le Pen, or Weidel pulling the spectrum so far leftward?

  You're aware the UK isn't in the EU right, and hasn't been for quite some time? Also that AfD and National Rally aren't yet, and have never been in control of the German or French parliaments. So yes, it's in the US that it's shifted. US money and influence (Musk and Theil money and feet on the ground influence through figures like Bannon), as well as US social media companies running US aligned algorithms, are an enormously significant factor in the rise of the right in Europe.

    They said European not EU, don't conflate the two. The UK is still in the continent of Europe.

      It's literally an island, off the coast of continental Europe.
