The 2024 election victory wasn’t just won by #Trump; it was crafted by #Musk, other billionaires & conspiracy culture.

Below I examine how democracy was undone by cold calculation and the players who orchestrated the improbable to make it inevitable.

UK media. Ask Labour about the Chinese, don't ask Farage about Russian bribes, or mysterious bankrolling of Leave. If you do minimise it, laugh it off. Repeat the process for Russian money swilling through the Tory party.
The majority of the British media stinks.
It's as bent as a corkscrew.

UK Govt announces that people seeking to work in the UK must speak English to A-level standard. Half the British workforce don't speak the language to A-Level standard. We gonna start deporting Sun readers, Reform voters and flag-shaggers who can barely grunt in more than two syllables?

It’s worth remembering that this was the explicit intention of many civil rights marches—regular Black southerners in their Sunday best, facing off against militarized police. It’s why those images of the children’s march in Birmingham (1963) or Bloody Sunday at Selma (1965) are so iconic.

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump
As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

Trump refuses to take questions from ABC News, saying it’s retribution for George Stephanopoulos’ interview with JD Vance.

The Free Press is officially gone!

The Hone Secretary seems determined to be in the wrong side of history. And to lose Labour as many elections as she can.

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?
Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

This - and Farage working with wealthy US anti-abortion groups on 'freedom of [our] speech' campaigns (per Byline Times and NY Times) - show significant US financial interference in UK politics.

If you want to end up like the US, first thing to do is let money dominate democracy.

I'm all for voting tactically.

But strategic voting is just as important.

Brexit is Farage and his fellow Brexiters' shitstorm to own. He/they can't be allowed to just pivot from heckle to heckle and bad idea to worse - while blaming everyone else - without consequences.

So the suggestion that Labour are going to amplify that truth is to be welcomed.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

So a 14-year-old British boy was tricked into going to Ghana and put in a boarding school that beats children and profits from it?

Isn't that just trafficking?

You don’t prevent crime by traumatising kids. Trauma increases the risk of negative life outcomes.

Nigel Farage wasn’t telling the truth on Laura Kuenssberg

Reform claim they were obstructed. There’s only one problem: they never made any inquiries.

Have you seen Idiocracy, @mrjamesob.bsky.social?

Brexit was Britain’s Brawndo moment - pouring Red Bull into the irrigation system.

Now the crops are dying, and no one dares turn the tap back to water.

Brexit Britain is a real-life Idiocracy sequel.

Britain doesn’t talk about Brexit because it can’t bear to @mrjamesob.bsky.social

The promises failed to materialise, the drama exhausted everyone, and what’s left is fatigue, shame, and quiet decline.

The UK is simply too tired to face what it did to itself.
