It is legitimately hilarious how there's now a global electoral Trumpendammerung wrecking far right and even regular right wing parties everywhere except the UK, which is apparently hateful in the eyes of God or something and doomed by fate to fuck up far worse than America.

As Reform screw up local services & scandals emerge that should open peoples eyes. But, we have a media which have been hammering Labour since the day they got into Gvmt
Lots of people in my personal social media sphere are pro Reform and it's exhausting trying to counter all the BS
1. Stupidity,
2. Stupidity,
3. Stupidity.
Hell, I thought WE were smarter than that. My dad told us he fought Nazis so we wouldn't have to. I marched for civil rights so my kids wouldn't have to. Yet, here we are.
We definitely had better protest music the last time.
Lots of time for some sort of course correction by both Starmer and the Tories. (Like, look, the Tories are a machine built for winning, they're not just going to let Badenoch lead them to oblivion for five years)
It was every bit as damning as any moment of indecision or appeasement on Starmer's part.
Their base is gone, and they massively fucked up a generational issue.
And Labour doesn't even have the excuse of the Great War.
Not gonna happen
The most recent elections put worse Mitt Romney in charge when they needed to put the LibDems in Downing.
And the LibDems are at least socially liberal, if wishy-washy on the fiscal.
Current Labour is neither (New Labour was weird, but still determinedly left-wing)
The question is what kind of right-wing party it will be--some have a productive role (the German CDU just unfucked German investment!), some are completely useless.
It's not surprising to me that both would be vulnerable to the same unsavory politics.
Because he's incapable of backing down and will instead double down on trying to rule by force--which will fail because he's not Putin at 80% approval.
Remember, we're talking <30% approval, mass protests, insane illegal orders.
Who is gonna be ready to take orders from a raging drunk SecDef to gun down liberal wine moms in the street?
just absolutely terminal online brainrot
The pendulum will swing back--but I will never forgive those who enabled Trump to return to power who are now blaming everyone else but themselves.
What can work is breaking the political circumstances that have toxified the GOP and allowed it to retain power despite its horrific state.
It's "He gets dragged out of the White House like any other super-unpopular violent caudillo."
Stop buying into Trump Exceptionalism.
basically geert wilders or viktor orban as king.
Unfortunately the people who won in an unprecedented landslide, decided for personal reasons to be toxically rightwing anyway themselves..
thus defying the Natural Order.
I want these people deported no joke.
