When you spend the last month backing the German Nazis, even going full Musk-off with the salutes...
... but then they still don't win so you have to pretend everything's according to plan, because you're too proud to admit defeat
Internationally speaking at least, MAGA is collecting defeats one after the other. Singlehandedly burned Pollievre's lead in Canada with the dumb tariff thing, singlehandedly restored the France-German axis in Europe specifically on the topic of getting the EU out of the US defensive umbrella and Ukraine.

Scary that the far right is second place

@SW-User But also good that 80% of Germans still overwhelmingly reject them. That's still what you call a "landslide".

@SW-User That's true ...at least Europe hasn't lost their minds
@SW-User We have two far-rightwing parties here: the current one that is actually old-school nationalist (descending from the Movimento Sociale, and thus descending directly from Mussolini's leftovers), the other that is our MAGA-like option where they parade themselves as "nationalists" and "patriotic" but in reality are only nationalists and patriotic if you look at them from a Russian perspective.
I'll never vote for any of the two in this lifetime or the next, but considering the other was at something like 40% in the polls not too long ago (2019?), I'd rather have her in charge. At least they're pro-Ukraine, in favor of increasing the defense budget, in favor of developing nuclear energy, and at least for now acting mostly as a centre-right party (at least in international/EU matters; they still suck from a social (or "internal") point of view i.e. minority rights, wealth equality / taxation, etc. but better than sucking at both I guess)
