Frank Luntz warning to Brexit Britain: Don't 'allow American politics in!'

[@edutainme7265]

The guy who caused literally created the problem.

[@rambleon2838]

I was just going to comment the same. He literally invented "alternative facts" (electioneering) and single handedly created the vial political climate coming from the right. He encouraged Republicans to "speak like Newt" by describing Democrats and Democratic policies using words such as "corrupt," "devour," "greed," "hypocrisy," "liberal," "sick," and "traitors". He advocated use of vocabulary crafted to produce a desired effect; including use of the term death tax instead of estate tax, and climate change instead of global warming. Since his work in the Republican party has metastasized to Trumpian MAGA Republican politics, he must have found refuge in the UK.

[@tfive24]

This is the guy who came up with 3 word phrases. He's the one who coined the term death tax .

[@vivwindsor4055]

Sunak's new thing about 'standing up for the motorist' is just his latest con. It is a straw he's grasping in the desparate hope of turning the tide. Seems like he's already abandoned his 'stop the boats' mantra cos that has been a total failure.

"God help you if you allow American politics to enter into British politics, you don't want it." Quite, For what we will be doing if we do is fighting endless culture wars that will divide society instead of making Britain great again

[@asphaltpilgrim]

​@@xyz12345457I'm pretty sure you didn't. The state of American politics is derived from declining education, and increasing corporate control which both came out of America. Also, America is itself a religion and which is why the original commenter wants to "Make Britain Great Again" ... probably forgetting that Great Britain is actually a geographical label for the largest of the British isles.

Billionaires are destroying democracy because they want restore democracy and restore feudalism.. They don't have a nationality, they want to rule us from above. The only solution is to restrict their ability to interfere in our politics and economy. Limit their contributions in cash and kind, tax them and break up their big corporations...

[@asphaltpilgrim]

@@xyz12345457 If you are talking about Murdoch then sure, he is not American... but where does he choose to do business? GB news copied Fox. So fair enough, it's complicated, global media is global - but it was US corporate culture that made US politics what it is today - and that's what's spreading.

[@hellious7670]

​@@starchunkss Per adult you are worse off in America by median calculation, as in not taking into account the billionaires skewing the results so much. They are also sliding into a dysfunctional dictatorship under a fascist who is openly talking about executing and imprisoning his political opponents. So I don't see their future going that well. Dictatorships don't have a good quality of life for the average citizens.

All you have to do is flip on the hate switch, and you can get people to vote for things they would have never voted for.

[@thepoliticalitalian8615]

[@RDHamel]

It’s weird to hear ordinary people described as ‘hard working tax payers’. I’d say it’s an American thing, but it’s now tories too. They have a sort of Lego model of the country, which leads to a childish obsession with tax cuts, at a time when literally everything is broken.

[@starchunkss]

Stop blaming the US for horrible British politics.

[@Coelacanth1]

Too true for it was Britons that imported America's problems - must be that post brexit need to move closer to America that did it, for sure they were not prominent pre EU referendum.

[@2paulcoyle]

Frank Lutz was a poor prognosticator while in the US. However he was a great promotor of Frank Lutz.

[@aboutface7961]

Brexit was a miserableists choice. If not, and you chose Brexit. Ask yourself why did i do that, and what is your list of things that you knew would happen. You chose a non plan. You chose chaos, and deterioration.

[@citizenenak]

Disrespectful politics? Have you even watched the Parliament members speak to each other during debates? Take a good look at yourself. It's quite a thing to witness someone look outwards and point their finger at others when they can't look at themselves. YOU are the original imperialist colonizers and you continue to meddle in others affairs just as we do. However we are as citizens endeavoring to extricate ourselves from the grips of greedy federalists, corrupt politicians and the Mafia within our own system of governance. What are you endeavoring to do besides blame others. Given your monarchy diddles little girls and steps up to protect said diddlers you have little to no room to speak. That's your problem you don't take a look at yourselves. That's not to say the citizenry as a whole doesn't. I side with democracy not plutocracy.

[@simonblack8384]

The Conservative party here tries to follow the example of their GoP cousins, but our media environment is less hot than the US and the culture wars don't resonate to the same degree here

[@tfive24]

That's because u all are not very religious. That's the glue to the nonsense here.
