The "ordinary" people have not much say anymore, biggest radio and TV company and a lot of other media are now state-owned, all who protested or were supposed to be suspicious of the "new" government have either been arrested or "released" from their job.

Had never thought that would ever be possible in Europe again, and just of all in Poland. But the "patriotic Kaczinski spirit" is stronger than ever, if only in the current government. A lot of people protest, you gotta cut them slack..

From a comment:

" ... This government is blatantly anti-Semitic. It's also promotes homophobia, xenophobia, and any phobia that may serve as a political to promote its negative rhetoric. Thankfully, only 37 % of Polish voters voted for them (out of 50 % of the eligible voting age population that actually went to the poles--no pun intended!). Regardless, this type of thinking is not acceptable for a modern society. It's the philosophy of cowards."

From an article:

" ... The problem is that Mr. Kaczynski, and others who similarly perceive the European Union or the institutions of liberal democracy as a threat to their way of life, fail to understand that a union of shared values and liberties, and independent institutions to safeguard them, is the surest defense against the sort of dictatorship they endured under Communism. ..."

Seems to be a Europe-wide movement, back to the roots (read: stone age). If they leave the EU only because of xenophobia...
