"I don't think this is about normal party politics."
I don't either. I think we just watched the Grand 'Ole Party become the OG Democratic Party, and a few diehards like Thomas Massie are wondering where their party went. Like the Democrats in Obama's wake when the party increasingly went full Communist, Racist, Fascist, and oozing cyst. The Republican Party survives in name only, is actually OG Dems, and the current radicalized, extreme degeneracy Democratic Party is dissolving in front of our eyes.
But, Trump is a creature of the swamp that made him. He's got rings in his nose that utterly control him, the real policies he endeavors to implement are the orders of the Rothschild banksters he serves. His rhetoric is different, his promises outrageous, but that's just a negotiation tactic that has served him well. Jump into the fray with both feet and instill as much fear in the opponent as possible to get as many concessions as possible and profit from the deal as much as possible. Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico is bending over backwards to pander to him. He doesn't have to make any concessions there. The claims on UK, Denmark, and Panamanian clay are really offensive and they're alarmed he made them. If he backs down a little they'll really feel great relief, and perhaps give him more than they would have originally just to get the ogre out from under their bridge.
It is impossible for Farage to sow more division in the UK than Starmer, and his predecessors, already have. I am becoming convinced the remnant population of Brits in the UK are all wholly domesticated, because Starmer is still breathing. The UK is becoming a Muslim majority country by the deliberate actions of the Conservatives and Labour. The blatant anti-English racism is far beyond anything I would have thought tolerable to Brits, with English complaining about their family members being hacked to death with machetes jailed for longer sentences than the more melanin enriched murderers are for the killing. People are being jailed for being impolite, for objecting to blatant anti-British racism, or even questioning the indoctrination of their kids to racially hate themselves, hate heterosexuality, hate the C of E, marriage, and everything that the UK ever stood for.
How could Farage even approach that? The UK appears not to have an edge, but only a continual plunge to the third world. Sooner or later, unless things change, someone's going to have to denuclearize the UK so they don't nuke Israel, or whatever a majority Muslim UK will do with it's nukes.
Sorry, but a lot of bollocks is talked about Muslims taking over the UK. There are not too many in my area, but things are peaceful anyway. We're not living in fear. In tough times some people blame the 'others' as has been seen throughout history. See also attacks on gays, trans, 'benefit scroungers' etc. Meanwhile a minority are hoarding wealth and power. I'm not saying people are necessarily evil, but selfish motives can be destructive. It's all just people and some seek to disrupt things.
Farage can just fuck off IMHO.
I have to note that's a remarkably small point of disagreement with my rambling, deliberately provocative comment. I see a lot of room for agreement and reasonable discussion of these matters potential. I'll leave it here, though, because I don't want to hijack @meno's blog anymore. I appreciate the opportunity to visit with you, and hope we can enjoy more, soon.
I'm sure we'll disagree on various things, but you keep it friendly. I'm not looking for fights as the world needs more harmony to progress.
