Its mostly US. A result of unchecked economic/wealth inequality coupled with the immense liberty of reactionary, dogmatic social groups in organizing and propagating themselves.
There are such segments in other countries, but their numbers generally reach at most ~10% of voter base. And a lot of their talking points come from far-right segments in US. There are a few countries where they can effect a controlling share of the vote, but those countries have generally FPTP voting system. Im not counting in reactionary societies like Saudi Arabia, of course.
