Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, believes the European election results suggest the Overton Window is shifting on mass migration, with populists not only making progress, but the so-called “center-right” increasingly adopting populist-like stances on the issue.
Speaking to War Room host Stephen K. Bannon, Kassam compared the populist right’s shifting of the Overton Window on immigration to the left’s shifting of the Overton Window on climate change, with Britain’s Conservative Party (Tories), Germany’s Christian Democratic Union (CDU), and other parties of the establishment right now as ideologically committed to the green agenda as the political left.
“Climate change is as much dogma, is as much a religion, to [the center right] as it is to the Social Democrat parties,” he said.
In the United States, the MAGA right has already shifted the Overton Window on migration and “especially on the economy,” Kassam argued.
In the same way the left shifted the Overton Window towards the climate change agenda, populists are shifting the Overton Window against mass migration, argues @RaheemKassam. pic.twitter.com/CsrZIfWPhA
