Trump constantly derides the UK for not supporting the US, but he’s too deluded to see the truth. We genuinely believe and have faith in America, but we’ll never have faith in Trump…

@AGT

TBH I don't have much faith in a country that votes for a fascist moron like trump - TWICE!

Then again, we had Boris Johnson in power not so long ago...

@Captain_Jack_Sparrow Apathy and ignorance play their part I think. Uninformed voters frequently fall for the “nationalism disguised as patriotism” rhetoric of political groups on the far right, and see the ideology as something fresh, bold and new. In reality it’s just a classic, tried and trusted method used by fascists to gain public support. Reform are bordering on this, but hopefully people aren’t dumb enough to fall for it.
As for Johnson… I’m totally with you there!!

@AGT So a "No Kings" rally in a country that literally has a king? 🤦
Show threadAndy6h ago
@SatanicPanDick It was an anti-fascist rally. Personally, I thought the words “against the far right” made it pretty obvious. Yes, we have a king, but a king with limited power who acts as a ceremonial head of state only. Parliament and the elected government make the decisions.
British politics clearly isn’t your subject.

@AGT ok, but like you did just type a pretty hostile sounding reply to a joke about how they literally couldn't call their version by its American name for reasons of being very hypocritical. Also, monarchies should be accomplished 🤷

@SatanicPanDick No aggression intended, but from this end your “joke” didn’t sound too friendly either. “Monarchies should be accomplished?” I’m not sure what you’re getting at, but you clearly seem to be missing the point. Parliament keeps the monarch in check. In the 1600’s Charles the first demanded absolute power with total control and was executed for it. His rule lead to corruption and civil war. The UK’s learned the hard way what uncontrolled leadership can lead to.

Autocorrect and dyslexia are mortal enemies

@SatanicPanDick I feel for you there. That’s a very unfortunate autocorrect. As for the monarchy, I agree one person shouldn’t have absolute power. In Britain the king’s essentially a figurehead, but in America Trump clearly seems to want absolute control, which is exceedingly dangerous.
