yeah the expression the party has used, calling them "enskilda rötägg" (literally meaning something like "singular instances of rotten eggs") doesn't really translate. interestingly the sweden democrat party members are all mostly working class. they got started as a swedish arm of the BNP so they had basically the same audience, but they've cleaned up a lot since the 90's and unlike the BNP of today no longer say the quiet part out loud.

    Yeah, but their main objective is still to throw out all immigants. They don't really care about anything else, even if they pretend to. And of course they're attractive to angry racists.

    i honestly think there are people in the party who no longer want that. unfortunately their base hasn't gotten the message.

    I feel like the party becomes more "moderate" at the higher levels (as in they have no actual opinions, they just want power) whereas at the lower levels (i.e. municipal) people have a much broader range of opinions; with some being severely misguided, some just being terminally conservative (but not actual nazis), and a lot just literally being nazis who just barely manage to avoid reflexively heiling each other on the street.

    god yeah, i still remember the guy in mora who was angry that he was misrepresented in the interview where he said that immigrants could stay until they got into government.

    The rotten egg analogy makes more sense. Each egg is completely sealed off from the others in the group. Since the shell is only permeable to gasses, one spoiled egg will not spoil the bunch.
