The success of right-wing antipolitics gave birth to hyperpolitics

Evidence

By the end of the 2010s, the right had seemingly taken the lead in the race to end the postpolitical era. Brexit, the election of Trump, and the rise of Salvini, Marine Le Pen, Viktor Orban, and Germany’s AfD all testified to this without ambiguity. It was also the moment when Tillmans began campaigning for Britain to remain in the EU. In a sense, one might say that it was the success of right-wing antipolitics that gave birth to hyperpolitics. — Anton Jäger, Hyperpolitics, 213
