"Stanley says that it’s part of the overall structure of what his colleague Timothy Snyder calls #sadopopulism: putting policies into place that inflict real pain and harm on the #US populace, while also encouraging scapegoating and #xenophobia against stigmatized groups...

“What they’re offering people is not health insurance or economic security,” Stanley says. “They’re offering them delight in the torture of others.”"

Reform UK voters voted for this cruelty and they will do it again if they're not called out on it.
They haven't been 'tricked', they just want to see the rest of us suffer like MAGA do in America.
Stop looking for a decency which isn't there. Stop thinking you can convince Trash to not be Trash, if their families can't manage it then you certainly can't

@georgetakei it's what 77 million Americans wanted to happen to everyone else. They will vote for him again if given the chance, it was never about 'economic malaise'

#USPOL #USPOLITICS #Trump #SadoPopulism

They're pelting him with stones now, but they'll vote for the next twat like him because he'll promise to harm The Other and that's all these voters care about.
It's not 'Economic Malaise' ,it's the desire to step on other people and have them suffer because of your vote.

Sadly, the people who vote for Milei, Trump and Farage don't care if they fuck up the country, so long as other people suffer....that's what those voters want to see.
Don't believe their bollocks about 'economic malaise', they're spiteful and just want to see other people suffer and be miserable like they are.
