You guys are supposed to be professional informed pundits at the top of politics, and you got it totally wrong precisely because you are in the political Establishment that has failed again and again. You think the world and the voters all want what you want, and you don’t talk to ordinary people, you only talk down to them. You seriously think people should care more about Ukraine than their own borders, and more about various Globalist projects than about whether they can afford the groceries. And then when anyone believes or wants something normal and you encounter that, you call it misinformation and try to get it outlawed.
Trump’s victory is not just the rejection of the Democrats in America. It’s the rejection of everyone like you who wanted Kamala to win and thought that your wanting was equivalent to fact. Just like the Brexit vote that you never accepted was and Trump’s win in 2016 was and even the Red Wall going to Boris in 2019 was. You’ve only got the Labour Party in because our distorted system made punishing the Tories an unearned reward for the equally, consistently wrong other main party.
Don’t you get it yet? There are people outside your dinner party bubble and your entitled class, and they think and vote differently to you. That’s why you got it wrong.
Just listening to the podcast. Struck by Rory’s account of his hate mail on X and later by the account of how Musk and other super-rich struck rich. Want to recommend to Rory that he posts a screaming diatribe to his critics pointing this out and that they are suckers. Not good politics I know, but very satisfying.
