People are so illiterate re how social change happens that they can't recognize that it's people who push other people to change their political calculus. WHY are your enemies having to shift & change course? What people & social forces have made them do so? They aren't "just magically" shifting.

The BBC is the biggest thump of soft power the UK has and its reach and influence to the benefit of the country is extraordinary. Destroy it, hugely damage the UK. The same people who helped weaken us over Brexit are seeking to do it again.
Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

This is gibberish. No one gets out on an ACA plan or Medicaid without knowing about it. And please, where the hell is $5 per month premium health insurance? That’s not on the table at all. These guys just pull words out of their ass and speak with confidence to try to sell it.
