    I’m not sure about the voters of Clacton. They had the chance to know how f-ed up Farage is, and they still voted him in. Which tells me that they have a majority consisting of idiots (who do not understand what Nigel Farage is doing) and assholes (who might understand what he is doing, but still vote for him).

      Reform supporters for the most part aren’t fans of thinking. They are scared specifically of people who occupy the same physical spaces as them who they see as not in their tribe, something which they learned from their parents most likely and then had reinforced by billions of pounds of propaganda via every possible media source the mega rich can access. Being concerned with anything beyond that requires effort which is not what they’re in the business of. This isn’t even said with judgement, this is just what’s happening.

        Like GOP in the US, RN in France, AfD in Germany, etc. Right wingers everywhere love the stupid. Lack of education and understanding is the best fertilizer for fascism.

          And they’re all taking Russian money and getting help from the Russian troll farms.

          Were Ukraine to drone those troll farms, you’d see a rapid drop in support for those jackbooted bulletheads across all of Europe and probably the US as well.

          It’s more an Authoritarian thing than a Right thing, it’s just that currently Auth-Right is what the Epstein class are pushing.

          The Khmer Rouge were as hard left as it gets, and the Cambodian genocide was almost entirely fuelled by the notion that educated city folk weren’t true Khmer.
