Or immigrational issues. Where I live that's a huge talking point that moved from right-wing to even slightly left of the center. Immigrants tend to bunch up in groups and sadly since a lot of them come from countries which are rather socially conservative, they bring those values with them and can be hostile towards women or queer people, sometimes even democracy. And since their social circle shares those values, as people are most likely to connect with other like-minded people, there's no shift there over time or in future generations.

Yet politicians and many voters forget they are human. It's just "send them back to where they came from" from the right-wing parties, instead of trying to find out how to actually improve things. What's missing is integration. Something Denmark is doing for example is spreading immigrants, especially refugees since those don't really decide where they go, out. Have a few scattered here or there, still able to find connections to people from the same places, but unable to build a complete social network without also interacting heavily with Danes. There are still awful people, immigrant or local humans will be humans, but this type of action means there's a far higher chance for immigrants to adopt local values, especially second or third generation ones.

They identified a notable issue that needs to be addressed, but the response is always hate instead of actually trying to figure out how to live as humans side-by-side.
