A couple of years ago, Legal Insurrection looked at events happening then, and suggested:
“the
pursuit of Net Zero by continually raising the cost of living is going
to cause populist revolts that will make Brexit and Trump look like
minor blips”
To which I responded:
It’s true. The backlash that’s coming will be a game changer.
We’re not just talking about energy, although that’s a large part of
the issue certainly. We’re talking about the food shortages that we’ve
been seeing because of the green agenda.The psychological effect of empty grocery store shelves has already begun to show up in Joe Biden’s approval ratings as well as the rest of the people pursuing this green insanity.
And ss the …( Legal Insurrection)… article points out, the Canadian truckers strike, the Dutch Farmers striking, etc indicate that this is not limited to these United States. The backlash against the Green is worldwide, and growing in strength.
Joe Biden’s approval ratings have not improved since those days in fact in many areas they’ve gone down. But now we’re seeing concrete evidence that the green agenda is being ditched by the European people as well.
Michael Walsh has been watching what’s been happening over there the last couple of years, and says just yesterday:
Back in the days when real writers instead of gay teenage-girl ideologues wrote motion-picture scripts, and were concerned not only with plot but theme and character development and the three-act form and finding an emotionally and artistically satisfying ending to a memorable film, they often used to include something called the “cheer moment.” After enduring humiliation after humiliation, insult upon insult, and abuse after abuse, the long-suffering protagonist finally turns on his or her tormentors and gives them what they’ve been asking for all along. Here’s one now. . . .
All of this and more happened across Europe yesterday as voters went to the polls and delivered a well-deserved and long-overdue thrashing of the malignant Left in voting for the European Parliament. In France, Germany, and Italy, the heart of the E.U., patriotic parties — contemptuously referred to by the international state media as “far right” — made significant gains against their institutional opposition, rattling bien-pensant sensibilities and demolishing the various neo-communist “Green” parties everywhere. Savor it.
(Emphasis is my own)
Oh yes, complaining about the “far right” has become something of a national sport here in the US, too. It’s become something of a knee-jerk phrase among the leftist extremists and the RINO GOP establishment both desperately trying to hang on to what power they have. But it won’t work.
The backlash is also underway here, you see, as the Real Clear Politics polling data tells us.
