Haven’t watched that video yet… but my instincts are that it’s not nearly as satisfying as I hope it will be.

I know I've seen this before somewhere, but I don't think it's been posted here. A Brit's take on why Brits don't like Trump. nsiap.

Quote

At the end of Trump's last term Nate White, an articulate and astute writer from England wrote the following response: -

“A few things spring to mind.

Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.

Spoiler

Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.

But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.

And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.

There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface.

Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul.

And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that.
He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat.

He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.

And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully.
That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.

There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.

So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.

This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of ****. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum.
God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid.

He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish:
‘My God… what… have… I… created?”

The way these young people "debate" feels like the result of right wing YouTube/podcasts over the last decade. A bunch of people that bought the disinformation from Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, Tim Pool and the cast of characters Joe Rogan books. 

Zero ability to critically think or even listen to Sam Seder. He brought facts and information and not a single person absorbed a word of it. They had their off-topic talking points ready and fired away. Completely hopeless to even discuss issues with them.

One of my aunts said something derisive about the mice transgender thing. I couldn't help myself and said, "No, it was a mice transgenic study."  She and another aunt asked me, "What's that mean?"

Trump said the transgender mice thing during the state of the union speech. All the republicans laughed and cheered. 

I know it's not feasible, but the democratic rebuttal to his speech should have just been a series of fact checks. Probably time restrictions there though.

That scenario is 100% on the table.

Americans need to decide who they are loyal to -- the Republic, or the Trump regime.  Because those two interests have a real, material chance of being in a shooting war against each other sooner than anyone would like to think.

People used to not need to apply critical thinking to what they were seeing in the media.  I'm sure that all of these people only watch Fox News. 

This-it’s not a popular opinion but we’re suffering from too much democracy in an information environment that’s too dispersed for most normal media consumers to critically work through and analyze every new piece of information.  
 

This fracturing of attention makes capturing any block of voter’s attention paramount, and by any means necessary.  It sort of begets a Fox News, which before it went bananas was still sensationalistic instead of going for credible.  Big media on the left are struggling with the same challenge (how to compete with social media), and are/have adopted similar strategies (for example, the NT TImes website ran nine articles in on their page the other day about “Trump bad”, and the 10th was about Dr. Pimple Popper).

All of this, of course, feeds into the distrust of institutions generally which is just fucking terrible for running a democracy.  

The biggest long-term problem is, in my opinion, the lurch from GOP to DEM every election that I’d expect from citizen unrest (because the media environment has created a “whoever is in power sucks” malaise among the slice of the electorate that decides non-gerrymandered elections).  

I don’t know what the solution is, either, aside from some kind of armistice between parties that lets them carve up power so that less partisan candidates candidates can be successful.

I guess letting a 78 year old convicted rapist with late stage syphilis brain crash the economy is worth getting rid of 1 trans swimmer.

Yes, yes, yes, fuck yes.  The First Amendment is killing us right now because there is no check on what anyone can say.  The most outrageous lies get the most eyeballs and the most ad dollars.  Not good for election results.  We need to reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine, at a minimum.  As far as a First Amendment case, at what point does calling the Jan. 6th insurrectionists false flag operatives and that Ukraine invaded Russia become a lot like yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater?

How would social media be policed?  A Russian bot shitposting on Facebook couldn't possibly be held to the (old) Fairness Doctrine standards, could it?

Yikes. Just incredible how their minds think, although that might not be the right word for it.

The fact check on the trans question he had for the gay guy that wouldn't answer it was that ~4700 kids used puberty blockers over that 4 year period and only .1% of the patients in that study were transgender. Meaning, the issue is so miniscule, that it is statistically irrelevant. That was Sam's point that he didn't get to finish.

You start by forcing Social Media to police itself. Allow rampant bots and misinformation posting on our website? Massive fucking fines. Multiple transgressions? Charges against executives.

The best definition of fascism comes from Roger Griffin, who defines it as palingenetic ultranationalism. That can sound kind of wonky though since nobody knows what palingenesis is and still sort of sounds like an ideology even though fascism isn't really ideological, so Umberto Eco's 14 traits of ur-fascism is probably the best way to explain it to most people:

 

To this, here’s some pure fascist rhetoric on Fox News.
