How can so many look at the situation of the West and still place so much emphasis on electoral politics?

We obviously can't vote our way out of this problem.

It is okay to support the mainstream conservative/national parties in the meantime but the energy of the right should not be directed to obsessing over electoral politics. The problem is when these electoral dramas distract the right from recognizing the reality of the situation. This issue was especially noticeable during the Trump election fiasco which was even worse considering we just seen how worthless 4 years of Trump was.

What exactly do you mean by "the right" here and what alternative do you propose to electoral politics? Where should the energy of the right go?

Did the Bolsheviks wait until they got elected?

While it may be a fantasy right now the West needs a revolution. Revolutions have happened before and they will happen again. Europe needs a whole new system and new outlook. The first thing to be done is start educating dissidents on this fact.
