It’s a different disease though. There is no political option that isn’t for migration crackdowns, imprisoning children and removing safeguards against repression and surveillance. But as opposed to the Trump regime, neither side of Swedish politics are trying to abolish the other or is actively trying to break down the constitutional order.
If you are Swedish you will remember the Green Party spokesperson Åsa Romson crying as her government announced a crackdown on migrants. Left wing leader Nooshi Dadgostar would (will?) have done the same in Romson’s situation, albeit, hopefully, without crying. That’s just the way it is when you’re a minority partner in a government led by a party that copies all their policies on crime and migration from the far right.
Yet. There is no one trying to break down the constitutional order yet. Despite all we’re seeing, despite Åkesson having made warm remarks about Trump for years, despite being hostile towards the media, despite never-ending racist remarks from his party, despite record unemployment, he is currently enjoying the highest voter confidence of any party leader. If the trend continues, the same disease will end up in Sweden as well sooner or later.

what? the Left party certainly isn’t for stricter migration politics, and they’re the largest small party!
