The previous government disbanded over immigration, and Geert Wilders' message of "kick out all immigrants" sadly seemed to resonate well with people. He is also pretty good at tv debates, which is where I think he convinced the very large amount of floating voters this election.

People actively voted for deportation? Oh boy. There are some scary historic precedents there that I hope the Netherlands will avoid.

Sounds scarier than it is. They still need a majority, and no other party will join them in their most extreme plans. We also have laws that protect against stuff like this.
