Is that true? AFAIK SD vote mostly concentrates around and in Malmö, an urban agglomeration.
"feel like they are losing and have been losing for a few decades now."
As the article mentions, one of the main topics of this election was "law and order", not "the countryside is losing".
And who loves law and order more than close minded people?
Another big topic of the elections was the energy crisis and the price of gas… who loves their cheap gas in Sweden? Those cadillacs and heated houses are not cheap to fuel. I wonder if HN even knows most Cadillacs in the world are in middle Sweden. Swedish Hillbilly culture just blows my mind
Very weird thing to say by the way, as if law and order are somehow bad and only bad people would love such things.
Certainly you know gay clubs used to be raided and gay people arrested and beaten up by the police not until that long ago. In Russia today it's the police making sure no one speaks their mind. The Uyghurs in China are persecuted by Chinese law and order. Blacks in the deep south a century ago? And goes on and on and on…
But yeah… historically if you have been a white straight cis man the law has maybe not have been that mean towards you since the end of feudalism. Other people though…
On the other hand, one could also rediscover the benefits of law and order by getting hit by a bullet in one of the by now notorious Swedish gang wars.

Hence why the people calling for "law and order" are often calling for and doing illegal things.
I’d rather not assume law doesn’t mean law and order doesn’t mean order because the eternal D vs. R divide transforms normal words into a bat to smack one’s opponent over the face with.
If you can't understand that after 3 comments what can I do? It's not hard to understand. It's different things. I never told you I want rape and riots, why are you distorting my words? I said people to whom "law and order" appeals to as policy are close minded people.
I'm personally much more afraid of any Raggare in the Swedish country-side than I've ever been of any immigrant in Stockholm. But I'm also an immigrant in Stockholm and you are not so you will never understand. Never. Just imagine knowing that 1 every 4 males around you basically voted to see people like you gone (if not worse) and you don't even know which one of the 4 it is.
The article is about how disenfranchised Swedish citizens are tired of being victimized by crime and violence and having their legitimate concerns for safety be invalidated and ignored by false accusations of racism... and you turn around and continue to ignore what they're telling you to instead insinuate some other imaginary real reason for their voting changes.
Maybe try actually listening to people and trying to help, instead of making up a cynical reason why they're bad people whose complaints can be ignored? If you read an article about a women's group concerned about sexual assault, would you be so quick to disregard their statements and try to find a hidden "real issue" to shift blame to?
Why are they so worried about gangs and bombings when those are for the most part urban problems?
Doesn't peak your interest? It sure peaks mine.
