Yeah, it's not easy to ignore when the US goverment starts sending people to concentration camps and being anti-american.
Can't just bury your head in the sand and say you don't care about politics, because then changes will come as a surprise
" why did I get laid off without severance? oh, they rolled back labor laws.
At least I have welfare as I search for a job... oh, they took that too.
Well, next elections I'll be voting against them. Wdym Trump is on his third term and planning a fourth one?
Why are ICE officers taking me to a plane, without due process, claiming I'm being anti-patriotic?) "
Sounds like their problem, not mine. They voted for it, I wouldn't expect you to care much about British internal politics either.
While Musk and Trump were doing their thing in the US, Musk was also trying to prop certain parties around europe. Reform (UK), AfD (Germany), Vox (Spain), Lega (Italy) Their internal politics are similar to that of Germany before WW2, plus their external politics are: pulling from NATO, stopping the funding that goes to the CVE, threatening annexation of allies... so I wouldn't be surprised if internal politics are indicative of following the path of Germany.
If UK were actively threatening allies, saying they won't support NATO countries if they are attacked, and one of thekr citizes was close to the PM and was also trying to sway elections in the rest of europe, I'd be as concerned as you internal politics to see where you wpuld be going.
