Well, yes. Understanding the working of political forces in real life, as opposed to abstract theory, is very much a matter of "wiggle room." And the transition of the European far-right away from anti-Semitism as a driving force is so well-known (and so bloody obvious), I'm honestly surprised anyone here could remain unaware of it. If one cannot grasp the possibility of a party that reveres anti-Semitic forces of the past reorienting itself toward different enemies today, one is wholly incompetent to understand contemporary far-right politics. What else can I say?
