Interesting though the article is from 2022. Germany has free education and a resurgent far right, so IDK what effect the educatioin there has had.

All of Europe has a resurgent far-right. And in many countries it's currently at ~20%, compared to 50% in the US. So there's one big difference.

In other countries the far-right is already governing the country, fully (Italy, Hungary) or partly, unlike in Germany (dodged a bullet this time but let's not get complacent).

There's also other aspects besides education that lead to far-right voting, like unemployment and general Strukturschwäche, i.e. lack of all kinds of infrastructure, prevalent in the Eastern part of Germany. Where most AfD voters come from.

And - though by no means comparable to the US - many European countries do have a problem with education.

30% of Americans voted for Krasnov, and not even all Krasnov voters are far right, and thats even assuming he didnt cheat in any way. America is not 50% far right.
