Again, Austria will do the right thing, give it time, their time will come, Poland realized it, Hungary realized it, Denmark did, and Germany, thankfully slowly is, so there is the fortitude and the motion there
That still leaves quite a few countries which don't conform to your fascist wet dream.

Poland went back to being antifascist.

How about no to the Pro-Putin nutter?
Fighto!
Give it up, little Herbert the nazi.
Over 71 percent of electors did not vote for you. Even the right-wing Conservatives refuse to be in any coalition with Kickl, he is too extreme for Conservatives. So there is zero hope of him forming a government with any other parties.

Give it time, your time will come, it's inevitable at this point.
Not necessarily. Europe regularly has this pendulum action going where they swing between left and right. Some countries, like France, see what could happen if you let the far right in, and shut the door on them. Other countries elect them, with or without a majority. The UK just threw out a conservative government after 14 pretty disastrous years.
Europe's political situation is pretty fluid. You might personally wish for the whole continent to turn into 1930s Germany, as that's clearly your ideal situation for America, but Europe's always going to be swinging back and forth.

28.8% of the voters, not 28.8% of the population. The FPO had 1.4 million votes giving them 57 seats. Not enough to form a government. The Nazi party should not be in government.

The Polish government's prime minister is Donald Tusk. His party is the center-right liberal-conservative Civic Platform-pro-European party.

Kind of awkward when you have enough votes to demonstrate that your country is definitely into flirting with fascism, but not enough votes to put that flirting into place so you have to bat your eyes at the other parties instead.
Still, if Europe wants to go gallivanting towards the right wing, that's part of the democratic process. (irony on) And there's never been any problem in Europe resulting from electing someone on a platform of ultra-nationalism and invective directed to one particular group of people. What could possibly go wrong ? (irony off)
The Ripper!
A step forward for the people of Austria.

I think the people who caused these problems for Europe are the real danger and fascists, again, they are on a clock. Tick, tick...
