Republicans have been conning their voters into voting against their own interests for many years.

Never underestimate how simply mean-spirited a VERY large number of the people around you are. It’s not their fault, our entire socials structure incentivises and rewards it, some of the worst, most narcissistic, mean-spirited people are those on the highest positions of power, particularly in business (a fundamentally undemocratic, outright fascistic environment in 99% of most people’s daily lives) in western countries. Incentivise this behaviour, reward this behaviour , and you will replicate it infinitely.

​@d.jwhite6533 I'd say a informed statement in the fact trump has already been elected once boris got elected and brexit happened so don't assume common sense prevails

[@sortascouseace]

Trump literally said it plainly, "4 more years? Don't worry we will fix it so you won't have to do it anymore" (Paraphrasing obviously, but you can find the clip all over the internet) The fact he is still allowed to run in spite of this shows how corrupted by wealth the US "democracy" is.

[@carrie5490]

You hit the nail on the head when you said that these people have always been there but society has kept the lid on. Trump has given them licence, he’s removed the lid, opened the gates in the crazy farm. I grew up around these people they mean it but they didn’t think they could say it outside of the pub until he allowed it. They always think he isn’t talking about them, it’s the others. It’s like the poem says

[@MsCharlieBrown78]

If he gets back in, it's not just America that will be in trouble.. his actions will affect everyone in the world. This is a dangerous man who will stop at nothing, and thinks nothing of those who support him.

I see it differently after 15 years in England. It's a cultural thing and exemplified by looking at how they have voted. The Scots never voted for the Tories, since the 1950s. We will not allow the death of social responsibility, the English have and will, for decades. The English vote against their interests, the very opposite of Scotland, no matter how much harm their leaders have caused. It's Stockholm syndrome too, better the devil you know.

[@johnh2052]

I can explain the Hannibal Lecter clip a bit. In previous rallies--from a month or two ago--Trump described Hannibal Lecter as a great person, someone to be admired. He did this on multiple occasions, saying how wonderful Hannibal Lecter was. So, he was making two mistakes: (1) Lecter is a character and not real, and (2) Lecter is terrible and not wonderful. Eventually, someone clearly explained to him that Lecter was the _very_ bad guy in a movie, so he shouldn't be saying this. (It goes along nicely with your comments about those who may cheer against Luke Skywalker or Katniss Everdeen.) In any case, it's just as clear that he got the message only partially. Now, he understands that Lecter was bad, but he still seems to be unaware that it's a character's name. So, in the clip, he's trying to clean up his mess from earlier, but failing at it.

[@endthecorruption6663]

As I listen, have to keep reminding myself you're describing the UK, not the US😅. Right on with all points made man.

[@sneakyfish8191]

"If a man, holding a belief which he was taught in childhood or persuaded of afterwards, keeps down and pushes away any doubts which arise about in his mind, purposely avoids the reading of books and the company of men that call into question or discuss it, and regards as impious those questions which cannot easily be asked without disturbing it -- the life of that man is one long sin against mankind ... "But," says one, "I am a busy man; I have no time for the long course of study which would be necessary to make me in any degree a competent judge of certain questions, or even able to undertand the nature of the arguments." Then he should have no time to believe." -- William K. Clifford, 1874

Quite surprised by his statement he does not understand the impact of buy to rent Buy to rent caused huge shortage of housing. Which cause huge increase in say rental prices. Which made it necessary for councils to keep spending more and more and more every year on housing benefits. Which depleted councils funds. Which caused all sorts of other council funded services to be underfunded and fair few run to the ground entirely. One part of this decline is austerity. The other is housing crisis - and at the basis of housing crisis is buy to rent. Both are responsible.

So how much money is being spent on the NHS private law firms panel? why no inhouse lawyers and legal departments within the NHS that do what private law firms do on the panel? Why have many private third party patient data platforms for NHS patient data, and these third party patient data platforms are data controllers of NHS patient data like the NHS is a controller. Data is the most valuable asset on the planet so why isn't the government being the only controller of NHS data? Private third party platforms should only be data controllers. Data is used to train AI and AI analyses data to provide insights, this is where the economy is globally and nationally, so NHS patient data should only be controlled by the NHS and it should be the sole controller of any transfer of it for research No Private third party should have the responsibility of controller or the economic power of that role. Why is a NHS consultant also a private consultant, who can have a conflict of interest due to their NHS obligation, how does a patient really get a second opinion from a private provider in the UK when a private consultant has this relationship with the NHS? If the NHS has problems is this passed onto private health? and if private health has problems is this passed onto the NHS, we have paid £4000 in less than 1 year for a private opinion but all private consultants are NHS and seem to park their loyalty in that camp, and the duty of candour goes out the window. That is why people are getting 2nd opinions outside of the UK. It is almost like this government funding for public health is also a back up financially for private enterprise, even for private dentist who have NHS capacity but try to talk NHS patients into private treatment once in the dentist chair having their teeth worked on, there needs to be a clear divide between public and private funding, otherwise how does the UK private sector become competitive against it's biggest competitiors if it is propped up by the government in these ways?
