In fairness there's nothing worse than middle class lefty types constantly looking down their noses at the working class & always telling us how wrong we are about everything.

The working class spends half it's time shitting on the "woke" and the left.

The crazy thing is these guys are like a gang of rotten kids sitting at the back of the class room causing all types of Mayhem, remember when Trump first got into office? The conservative media started pushing buttons in Europe and South America, throwing their weight behind other rotten characters like Boslenaro from Brazil, Orban from Hungary, The Italian PM, Le Pen from France, Boris Johnson etc. Expect the same thing to happen again. It's going to be a bumpy ride. Misery loves company, more rotten character are going to rise to power within the next 4 years

The whole world tends to vote wirh their pockets in very large numbers, they are also a number that are sick to death of your standard bullshitting politicians. Its not surprising that as a species riddled with self interested cunts we do cuntish things.
Not all Americans deserve this and that applies elsewhere but fucking loads do.

The UK has to start building ties with more moderate, stable countries, start realigning ourselves with Europe.

But don't act like this isn't happening in Europe too. It's only a year since Geert Wilders won the Dutch election in arguably the most liberal and prosperous country that isn't a tax haven or oil rich. Farage's continuing popularity in the UK. Viktor Orban in Hungary. The far right party winning a majority in Austria, a country that regularly tops standards of living polls. And we're starting to see the far right rising even in places you wouldn't associate it with like Ireland. The difference between the US and UK and the rest though is that we have a very much winner-takes-all approach, so even though the far right will always be a minority, they can actually get into significant positions of power more easily than in most European countries, where the PR style of voting means they're forced to work with other parties to get any power.

What do all of those countries have in common?
