      Britain is very politically authoritarian and having a single hierarchy has been their preference for a thousand years. They also have a surveillance state to rival any other authoritarian government and a press that is strongly discouraged from rocking the boat. Those poor Islanders are used to thinking like sheep because it’s how they were raised.

          The most foundational concept to America is economic exploitation and cut throat entrepreneurship. Selfishness is more foundational to American conservatives than the church or the state. Trump was openly a selfish asshole. One would think that open disregard for others would disqualify someone from the highest elected office, but the right thought otherwise. Being a bully meant that Trump was strong. A lack of empathy isn’t a vice, but a virtue.

          As trite as it is to point out, that he was going up against an infamous neoliberal. Repuglicans don’t win elections, their opponents lose.

        On a cold winter’s eve at Piccadilly Circus I got felt up & shook down by bobbies on the most ridiculous pretext. I don’t know if they had a drug bust quota to meet or were simply bored.

        Donald Trump has never won a popular vote. Less than 50% of people who voted, voted for him.

        So not so much.
