The Rise of Polarization: How Donald Trump, Herbert Kickl, and Sebastian Kurz Thrive on Political Divisions

Donald Trump, Herbert Kickl and Sebastian Kurz owe their political success not least to their opponents. Opponents and supporters have become maximally decoupled.

Brexit, Corona, climate change. Donald Trump, Herbert Kickl, Sebastian Kurz. It seems pointless to exchange arguments between opponents and supporters about all of these topics and politicians. Viewpoints have long since moved away from facts. The camps adhere to their own value systems that are self-contained. “Post-truth” is the umbrella term; for almost a decade, the phenomenon of the emotional force of a statement erasing its content has been gaining ground in politics. Terms such as “truth”, “freedom” or, most recently, “normality” become fighting terms.
