That’s not quite how it works for the right. It’s not just that they do what sells (well they do that too); the right can reliably get the cooperation of mainstream media in amplifying its narratives, giving it outsized power in shaping public opinion. Also it’s not true that the far right is primarily supported by younger voters (see also: https://www.dw.com/en/afd-how-germanys-far-right-won-over-young-voters/a-69324954). Young voters today are more rightwing than past cohorts, but they’re still leftwing compared to other age groups. The far right gets support from all age groups, but when there’s a noticeable skew its towards older voters, not younger voters.
At least in germany there is a clear dependence between education and right votes.
Less education leads to more far right votes.
In a healthy democracy the government should make sure their citizens are well educated. Otherwise democracy cannot function. Uneducated people are accapting bad decisions as long as the Slogans sound good.
