They are not victims, they are accomplices...
Looking at some of the ‘real folk’ opinion in both the UK and the US right now tells us that there may be enough voters to re-elect the far-right wankers, that are Trump and Boris. And make no mistake, at this point, they will be voting for them BECAUSE of their behaviour and not in spite of it. I used to have sympathy with the idea that a ‘left behind’ cohort had been manipulated and captured by fear mongering racists, populists, cheats and deceivers – privileged, bombastic white men selling out democracy for power and personal gain - but not anymore.
Those that STILL support Trump and Boris at this moment, after all we have been witness too, clearly demonstrate that they don’t care if the system collapses, either because they think nothing can be worse than they have now, or because they stand to profit from the shit that is cascading in every direction. Either way it is profoundly selfish decision making and a deeply nihilistic approach, that is both disruptive in the extreme to the wider communities and dangerous to our rule of law.
They don’t care if the house burns down. That cannot be forgiven.
