Agree with you 100%...but! You leave out the well-known property of voters having very short memories. By the time the next election begins its runup, say July2028, McSweeney&co will have a strategy in place. If the opposition is still Farage and Farage-lite-Tories, it may not be difficult!

He's not wrong: leftwing progressive is a minority sport. We don't speak to the masses, and fall on our faces when we forget that fact.

...at some point you arrive at "power corrupts, so you can't be a Christian and have political power"...?

Sure, but then you're in the territory where just about everything the organized Christian church did since becoming established ignores the basic principles.Crusades, persecution of other faiths, inquisition, witch-burning, justifying colonialism, corrupt monasteries pre-Luther...where do you stop?

I wonder, did this guy only just realize how batshit evil conservative christians are? Did he previously think they agreed with Jesus on love, mercy, tolerance, kindness to strangers, gun control, etc,etc?

Put it that way, you give us a reason to hope! "These goobs...all think they can control" him. A perfect recipe for chaos...and negligible real fascist achievements!

I wonder, though. Trump and Musk are massive egomaniacs. They hate being told what to do. I wonder if the dangerous minds in the Heritage/Proj 2025 realize just how little sway they will have.

Male or Female, Santa is full of it. That horrid song says it all: Santa is the surveillance state - he sees when you're awake!? - doling out rewards for the conforming obedient sheep, punishing subversives. Yuck! 😄

Excellent article, thanks. Re typo, sing this as Paul Simon: I can be your editor, you can be my long-lost best investigative former Observer Journalist ever! But seriously, what can we do? I've paid my voluntary contribution to the Guardian for the last 17 years...but not for this. However...
