She doesn’t, just on the grift training and earning whatever she can by going down the MAGA like road.

It will be interesting to see if the UK goes down some MAGA-type road in the next five years. I am not convinced that the British public, although there are many outliers of course, are as generally moronic, naive and easily led as the US public. We tend to be more world-weary and less idealistic imho.

Nevertheless, it may be worth a punt by some failed British politicians just in case it does come to pass?

The rise of Farage and Reform is proof we already have.

The hive collective mind that the likes of Farage, Cummings and that the likes of Johnson and Truss saw the opportunity to push something as daft as brexit on the British public to believe in and vote for shows how easily the general population can be swayed. We have social media platforms run by Musk and Zuckerberg which say they are promoting free speech but really pushing algorithms of populist politics on their users. We’d like to think the British public are savvy but brexit, Johnson’s majority in 2019 and Farage’s party gaining momentum and him becoming an MP in the last election shows otherwise.

Which is why it will be interesting to see what happens in the next five years.

Brexit had an undeniable history, I think, that the remainers had to overcome. Who was Johnson up against? And, as for Farage, he has to convince Tory voters to stick with him.

Let's see. I still have faith :)
