Otoh it means this is probably an anomalous blip in the course of politics and also means this generation of ruling class are singularly incapable of handling the return of politics. You just gotta make sure its the left who takes advantage cause the ruling class will happily side with whichever fascist who promises they can keep their careers and still get to be on the telly.

It's going to be the defining political challenge of our generation. Climate change is obviously the biggest issue on the horizon and it's going to be a nightmare, but only the left are even vaguely equipped to deal with it; if the right win this historical moment we are all utterly, utterly hosed

System Metternich posted:to be fair he was like 20 at the time and went on to firmly distance himself from and apologise for his positions back then. During his time as an MP he seems to have been mostly on the sane side of things (unless I overlooked something?), even defying a three-whip order when he voted for a Labour proposal to let gay couples adopt children He has been radicalised by his labour supporting wife. By the time he was elected speaker people were suspecting he was going to cross the floor to Labour. More recently Tories were giving Bercow poo poo for having anti-Brexit stickers on his car, he had to explain it was his wife's car.

May's definitely as vicious and cruel as Trump, the difference is that she's far less competent so her direct bodycount for poo poo like ethnic cleansing and putting migrants in concentration camps is hindered by the fact that she keeps getting smacked about by a mixture of the opposition, her own party, and the courts she made a big ol fascist speech which got an MP attacked and then had to spend a full day shamefully not-really-apologising for it

also Trump hasn't really caused many of america's deep issues, he's a symptom as much as a cause and as bad as he is you have a chance to get rid of him at the ballot box quite soon. brexit is far far worse than trump.
