Yes please go and lie down, you’re embarrassing yourself. Are you going to build a high speed rail
Network throughout the United States to get rid of interstates? Did you skip Geography class?

As you specifically mention California and NYC…

London / New York and California are more closely aligned politically than they have ever been. You could argue the US is more left than the UK since 2020 in most liberal demographic areas. Look at ultra progressive Mayors that have been voted in all over the map. Unfortunately San Francisco and a few other cities are finding out the hard way what some of these policies can result in.

When it comes to diets and the love of sugar, that’s the West in general. Quite frankly these days (having lived in all three), I see more fat people in Suffolk than in Southern California, the North East/New York. You can’t walk a block without seeing a smoothie bar or vegan cafe in the Lower East side, Wicker Park,Logan square or the majority of SD/LA and most major cities.

Also, cable news has about 500k viewers a night these days.

to claim that the US is to the left of the UK is clearly bonkers.

Not really, different foundations, different demographics, the diffident and subservient way that many British people seem to act is a far cry from the Post War chummy chutzpah that I remember from childhood. Vile as Trump is I think it is important to remember that he is tapping into the aspirations of many 'have-nots' quite effectively. Sadly this appears to set them against the Obama era grass roots activists who they would do better to act in concert with.

Have you seen the U.K? We have two parties, with identical policies and philosophies absolutely wrecking the joint! At least you can see a difference between them still over there!


I don't think there's a great deal of difference between the two parties in the US.

Are there any historical parallels where an empire / massive state has collapsed into a mass of fighting factions as law and order breaks down, because individuals have become so obsessed with acquiring personal wealth by any means, at the expense of the demise a decent, caring, functioning society in which to enjoy real wealth?

Not a loaded question, I'm not much of Anne historian.


USSR is the most recent massive one, in particular the asset stripping of nationalised industries by those who became the oligarchs.
Syria and Iraq have many of the features that you memtion, but not the individualised greed over-tone.

The French Revolution was the result of an increasing financial gap between the underclass and the nobility.

What used to strike me when I first working over their in the late 90s, is the sheer scale of consumption and energy/resource usage - those 10+ lane motorways in California.. the scale of food and sugary drink consumption and the subsequent waste...

So different and far from Europe and UK values

Beyond almost Dubai levels of wanton consumption on scale!

Why on earth we would want to align closer to them than Holland, Denmark and Germany has always baffled me.

Fox News and social media was petrol on a flame.

New York and London are different world cities.. taking public transport alone.

Its a small planet and we'll have to share it with this crazy state. China will make hay as they descend into chaos.

Trump is as guilty as sin. Carlson is a pernicious influence. Yet millions upon millions validate.

Ranting over.... I must lie down.


What a load pf Tosh. Its Jackwagon Joe and his crackhead son who are in the pay of the CCP. Love or hate Trump, trying to jail your political rivals because they query the election results (Hilary did the same in 2016 with the fake Russia hoax), the Dems claimed cheating when Bush beat Al Gore) yet no one got prosecuted for those claims).
They are s^^t scared of the orangeman and by trying to jail him they have turned the USA into an authoritarian stare like China/Russia/N Korea. Jailing political opponents simply because you don't agree with them is the very basis of a fascist state, yet MSM, big tech, the left have accused Trump of being like a dictator because of his mean tweets! Nearly 80 million voted for the Don last time and his popularity has increased not because of him as a person but because his policies were good and the economy was fantastic, unlike now under that demented loon who cant read off a teleprompter.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion but don't you think the fact of the matter is that he is being investigated to discover whether or not he was influential in orchestrating an insurrection rather than for his tweets ?

Did you read what I actually said? American metropolitan areas are very left wing these days, if you took a look at local/state politics and those in power you could clearly see that. The fact the OP put all this together and the two places he mentioned were California and New York made his post even more laughable.

The only reason the GOP have a shot at the White House is due to the electoral college. Just look at Arizona over the last decade, hell Texas, shockingly mighty only be a cycle or two away. I guess that’s the problem when half of San Francisco moves to Austin. The California exodus has been quite something.

Even in deep red states the cites have gone left. New Orleans and Nashville being decent examples. Gen Z / Millennials moving from the states of politics they apparently support! Especially during the pandemic.

Yeah at a federal level, Republicans really need the EC.

He's not been arrested because he queried the election results.

The fake Russia hoax? How was it fake? The Mueller report absolutely did not exonerate Trump, whatever he might have said about it.

His policies were good? He didn't have any, other than 'build the wall' (which failed) and tax breaks for the rich. His overhaul of medical care never happened.

Donald is that you?

He’s probably talking about the report where it was stated there was absolutely no evidence found of collusion despite what Democrats had been saying for years. Just a hunch.

To say he didn’t have a policies is weird, you might not have liked them but he certainly had some. Economically American faired rather well during his tenure, at least in terms of the middle class and money in their wallets. He didn’t exact wipe out its debt like he said though, in fact accelerated it. He launched a full out attack on the the immigration system and tried to take it back to the old days with the ideologies of people like Sessions and Miller, in many ways succeeded. He was also extremely isolationist on world stage. So yes, he kind of had policies.

Yeh ok I haven't covered myself in glory there have I haha.

The report definitely wasn't the vindication that Trump gloated about though.
