And I think that is an understandable reaction.

Well, the pushback is something we've seen, and I'm sure that many of you have followed. Why did more and more people shift their votes to, not everywhere, Denmark is a small country, it's an exception, but in some of the major countries, they shift their votes to the right. We saw it in France, we saw it in Germany, we saw it particularly in Austria.

The case in the United Kingdom is a little bit different. I think that Mr. Marshall, who is your next guest, can talk about this in greater detail, because I would argue that there is also a desire for more conservative politics, but people were so upset

with the Conservative Party that did not govern in a conservative way, that then they gave the votes to Labour, or that many Conservatives stayed at home and the votes of Labour ultimately then caused the shift that happened. But people want change.

And the big issue we see, that's the same, to make this more interesting for your American audience, what we see in Germany, in France, in the UK, in the United States, is people want change. But the entrenched elites, for understandable reasons, don't want change. So if they can no longer win at the voting booth, they have to find other ways.

So what we see, for example, in Germany, I think we're going to talk about this, is that they weaponize NGOs. In France, they're going to use the legal system. In the UK, it's very often now the states that clamps down. In the United States, it's the media. And what we saw, I don't know how many people followed this, but we currently had a presidential election in Romania annulled.

And the leading candidate, who is with 44 percent leading in the polls, has now been banned from running because he's supposedly too far to the right. And these are all kind of steps where an existing governing elite tries to cling to power and prevent anybody who could challenge them from actually coming to power.

Oh, it already is. I mean, one of the things, and I have full disclosure to my viewers, I'm very sympathetic to Donald Trump. And one of the reasons is because of what the things that people tend to complain about. He is a bulldozer. He is indeed the proverbial elephant in the China shop.

And he has done one thing that nobody dared over the last couple of decades, which is let's take a look at all these NGOs. And I give you one example.

One of the major NGOs in Germany that has introduced all these observatory institutions that collect information on whether people say something anti-feminist or racist or something we also talked before the show, right, Eva, do you have a relative that might have fallen victim to conspiracy theories? Now, if you take a closer look at the main NGO behind this,
