"We're shocked the people don't want the things we want them to want."
Exactly.

Congratulations to the people of the Netherlands! I visited your country back in 1972 when it was perfectly safe for anyone to walk the streets of Amsterdam and other Dutch cities and towns any time of the day or night without fear. I hope Wilders can help bring those days back. He alone cannot achieve this. It will take political will and the support of the Dutch people to save their country. Western civilization is at stake.

Congratulations to Netherlands!! Hope this trend continues and people everywhere will wake up and make the right decisions.

When everyone is suddenly labeled "extreme", it loses all meaning and the actual extremists fly under the radar. Just because someone is right of Karl Marx, doesn't mean they are "far right".

Imagine people voting for a leader who wishes to protect their culture from others who would tear it apart. Shocking.

Does the media ever use the term "far left"? 🤔🤨😐😑

Argentina, the Netherlands, are we finally seeing a bit of a push back against lunacy?

“anything we don’t like we call far-right”😂😂😂

The left wing government was literally trying to end farming in the Netherlands to cut emissions but really they just wanted to eliminate the rural areas who don’t vote for them

I guess they’re finding out the Dutch people don’t to have to import all their food which would be expensive and the countries they import it from would be from contrived who’s farmers have more emissions that Dutch

So if the left wing government won not only would food prices in the Netherlands sky rocket but global emissions would also increase

Glad the Dutch people didn’t want that

Netherlands people have had enough. Expect to see this in other Western nations. Liberal policies are destroying the foundation of Western countries.

Can we stop calling everything “far right” the more you wrongfully use a word the less meaning it has.

Finally, Europe is learning from their mistakes….

Far right isn't an insult...it's a badge of common sense.

[Obamaistoast]

Its not a far right victory, its a victory for common sense

I’m so happy for the Dutch. Congratulations!!

[efrenrodriguez]

According to the media there's all these far right people, yet I never hear their opponents be called far left.

Congratulations to the Dutch. Freedom and democracy for Netherlands. 🎉

"Far right" = not enjoying your homeland being desecrated.
