I think some of it is genuinely just that they see our govt of mustache twirling villains seeking the End of History vs their "left" party ceding ground on every core issue

Part of the reason for our democratic crisis is the public hates basically every single thing our govt is doing and wants it to stop! UK electorate seems to want the govt to be worse.

Hard to suss it all out since the worry about inflation and post-pandemic malaise is a global trend so I don't think the misogyny/racism was *the* deciding factor but it's definitely part of it all

British left-of-center folks stewing that American liberals can be worried about the UK's political arc sure is something to watch.

In L.A. county, average annual pay for residential construction framing contractors' employees is the lowest of any detailed industry within the construction sector, and that pay has not risen in inflation-adjusted terms in 20 years.
And yet -- L.A. needs to build how much more housing??!!

When you're walking along an old railroad right of way sometimes you discover trans pirates have been there already.

My political predictions have turned to ash in my mouth before, but if Democrats win a trifecta in 2028, and the tariffs are still in place, I do not see how the new Democratic president doesn't push the "make things cheaper" button.
