I view the USA and the UK as pretty much the same thing. Where America goes politically the UK is only a couple of years behind. They have already had a far-right coup attempt, there has been endless election gerrymandering etc, white supremacy and religious fascism is gaining huge ground and is not only an existential threat to the LGBTQ+ community but it is also seeking to set the whole women’s rights movement back by a century or so. A Taliban level of authoritarianism. That is before we even get to black civil rights, which if the right have their way is rapidly heading backwards to an authoritarian apartheid.
In the UK we thankfully lack the religious fundamentalism/terrorism, but a very similar racist, nationalist and xenophobic political culture exists right in the mainstream and has done since the Conservative Party so widely adopted popularist NF, UKIP and Daily Mail policy. This starting with the Nazi-styled ‘go home’ vans of Theresa May’s ‘Hostile Environment’, the illegal deportations and countless human rights violations of ‘Windrush’, the toxic attitude that led to the criminal negligence of Grenfell, the branding of civil rights judges and lawyers as ‘enemies of the people’ and has currently escalated to the point of colour-selecting fleeing refugees and deporting those of an unacceptable hue 4000 miles away to concentration camps in Rwanda. At every stage the rights of minorities are reduced, the right for decent people to protest, demand accountability or democratically oppose eroded.
It is what it is.
