    Reminds me of east and west germany, even still today, one side is poorer than the other, which fostered new radicalism.

    And also where i live, Quebec, poorer rural regions control the elections.

      Exactly, the difference is in east Germany after the war they mostly dealt with the nazis.

      In the south they gave them a timeout for 10 years then let them take power again.

        Lol no they didn’t deal with the nazis in East Germany. They were pretty quickly persecuted if they came out, but as long as they stayed quiet and clamied they wanted socialism, nothing happened to them.

        And then after the fall of the east block, all of the nazis in eastern Germany no longer had to be quiet and there were also many nazis from the west who helped spread it even further while there was a power vacuum and nothing was done against it.
