Whatever it is, it's infectious, first Britain and look how close France are to suffering the same way...

Perhaps the following may have something to do with the resurrections of such extreme ideology...... 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon

Since its emergence in American politics, QAnon has spawned movements around the world. The exact number of QAnon followers is unclear,[3][31] but the group maintains a large online following.[2][3] Following increased scrutiny of the movement and its hashtags, mainstream social media companies such as Twitter[32] and Facebook[33] began taking action to stop the spread of the conspiracy theory.

QAnon followers have perpetrated acts of violence on numerous occasions.[34] Members of the movement actively took part in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, during which they supported Donald Trump's campaign and waged information warfare in an attempt to influence voters.[35][36] After Joe Biden won, they were involved in efforts to overturn the results of the election. Several associates of Donald Trump, such as General Michael Flynn[40] and two members of his legal team, Lin Wood[45] and Sidney Powell,[51] have promoted QAnon-derived conspiracy theories. When these tactics failed, Trump supporters – many of them QAnon followers – attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. The Capitol Riot was a watershed moment for QAnon and led to a further, more sustained social media crackdown on the movement and its claims.
