Forbidden America - Louis Theroux

Looking forward to it

Thanks

Yes Stu.

What hit me like a ton of bricks was the incredible difference between our Britain First and their America First. Same hate filled messages but whereas BF here are knuckle dragging Neanderthals theirs are sharp suited, intelligent and highly organised. The BF in England have to meet secretly in some back street boozer, the AF have elected Senators actually attending their conferences in swish hotels. Frightening.

I think you can trace a lot back to the election of a black man, that's when the "tea party" went into overdrive and the Republicans stopped working together with Democrats even to the point of voting against things they had previously supported purely because the Obama administration was putting it forward. I was no great fan of Obama, just another centrist conservative and a real example of style over substance, his stopping payment to the Afghanistan Army can be seen leading to the rise of ISIS, he was as much overrated due to his skin colour as he was hated by others for the same thing.
Is the US just geographically too big and too culturally diverse to be controlled as a Democracy? Half the country wants to move forward and half wants to return to the 1950's when women and minorities "knew their place".
Now the Electoral College system which was always rigged towards the gop is no longer enough to get elected they aren't even bothering to hide the attempts to take control of the State election apparatuses and they will disenfranchise minority voters until they cannot lose an election.
It is not the two Republicans on the Jan 6th committee who are "RINO" it's the rest of the whole Republican party, those two are pretty much all that remains of the Grand Old Party.
