To be honest, ever since the pandemic started, everyone lost their minds and stopped being themselves. It's stupid, but that's what happened. You know when you liked talking to someone, and they just suddenly act like you never mattered, even though you never done a single thing wrong on them, that the pandemic really affected everyone.

I am under the impression that politics are getting more and more polarized overall, and that the excesses of one side only feed those of the other side.

I've heard that apparently since Joe Biden became president, there have been more illegal immigrants trying to enter America, thinking they'll be allowed in because Trump is no longer president.

Are they actually getting through?

I don't think they are, since they mentioned a lot of them had been caught and deported. They said a lot have been trying lately though.

People are getting frustrated and different people find different ways in resolving their frustrations, but some have clearly decided not to waste a good crisis.
I don't think right-wing people are cockroaches nor that right-wing people, regardless of nation, are right-wing people because they are frustrated.
There may be frustration but I don't think it brings one side or the other.

It's not right-winged people that I mean to complain about, it's populism. It's the kind of right-winged person that believes Bill Gates is putting nanobots in the vaccines to mind-control the world population. The kind of person that believes in conspiracies and would vote for any party that even vaguely nods to these people. One of these right wing parties in my country nods to these people in a vague way, on purpose (they know what they're doing), and these conspiracy nuts can just interpret whatever these politicians are saying in however way they want. It's the kind of populism that completely takes advantage of the chaos of this situation.
