I think the idea that “The President is simultaneously an institution beyond the reach of criminal law and also a private person who can file $10 billion defamation suits when he dislikes a news article” is not very sensible.

This is what it's like to live in a racist society. If the perpetrator is white, they're just some lone madman whose actions have no political implication. If they're an immigrant - in particular a dark-skinned Muslim immigrant - they represent their group and are part of a political attack.

There are now just three types of media figures on both sides of the Atlantic: people clear-eyed & honest about the obvious evil of Trump; people explicitly supportive of Trump’s obvious evil & people implicitly supporting Trump’s obvious evil by ‘both sidesing’ every lurch further in to fascism…

Rep. Kelly Morrison: "This is not what people voted for. Trump has done nothing to lower the costs for everyday Americans. All he is doing is destroying things. He's dismantling our social safety net. He's dismantling education ... the American people don't want it."

Braverman seems desperate for the approbation of people who, according to her own manifesto of self-loathing & blatant racism, can never bestow it.
She wonders aloud how many generations must pass before you're English (SIX??) & concludes "it is a question without an easy answer" but that "there must be some form of consensus".
There is a consensus. It's the view of almost everyone in this country that you can be English without being white.

I know everything feels grim right now but let's be realistic. These people are idiots. They're going to tank their economy. They're going to fuck-up every deal they sign. They're going to leave America looking shattered and deranged. And all those who supported them will look as idiotic as they are

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.
