    This is true in the UK as well - the right are still clinging to it like a comfort blanket while they’re dying in the polls but it’s clear that voters are more concerned (and have always been more concerned) with the cost of living crisis, housing and health.

    It’s the economy stupid…

      But solving those problems takes work, compromise and it’s not sexy.

      But shitting on certain groups of people is much easier, scary and gets you attention.

      For some reason politics has become mostly a dog and pony show. No one wants to just do the boring shit that actually helps people.
