Education and rationalism dumped to satisfy right-wing snowflakes who in all likelihood never read anything beyond Facebook.
Is the UK turning into America?
Andy Wootton@ReggieHere The "Patriots" are trying their hardest to be Trumping clones. Fortunately, they aren't as hard as they think they are. Even Farridge is starting to crack under the strain of colliding with his past falsehoods. Who knew that being untrustworthy would eventually lead to a loss of trust?
Agreed. I think the far-right may have significantly over-estimated the support for Trumpist ideology in the UK, particularly with respect to fundamentalist Christianity and climate change.
The UK may have its fair share of idiots and racists but they're generally not the Bible-thumping, climate change deniers that fit that profile in the USA.
@ReggieHere I think it's important not to confuse what the Right think with what they are being paid to say. If they are being paid by polluters and religious nuts then that's who they'll say things for. That's the job they are paid to do. I think the White Supremacism schtick comes fairly naturally to them, without any religious belief.
