Yeah, and there's a fair amount of money behind this push.....which like....I'm not American, don't live in the States, but my sister and her wife do...and I've gotta figure out how to get them the fuck out if things go Trump again....
Edit: also, living in the UK I run into loads of people who go "Well, if Trump gets in again, that's not really our problem..." but like....the USA makes they're problems everyone's problem. And another Trump presidential term would be a huge problem for the rest of the world....
Yeah, I've been following UK politics by way of TrashFuture podcast and I gotta say... your immigration plan is to deport people to Rwanda and your government just endorsed a Trans-Panic Committee to decide whether teenagers can consent to gender-affirming care.
And these are the moderate Labour Party positions. Liz Truss wants to do worse.
God damn, dude. Finding the worst people to run the country is not a competition. You can just let the Yanks have this one.
I'm only here on a marriage visa, I'm not a P.R or citizen yet, so I'm not allowed to vote against having these bigots and con-men in power. Also, while labour is somewhat moderate, the Tories are in power, and they're a bunch of fucking nut jobs. Labour can't decide what they stand for anymore, which means they will stand for nothing, and the rest of the available parties will never get to power again. The available options are shit, just like in the States. And the Yanks think they invented having a shit government, but lemme tell you, the Brits have been fucking up their own government and foreign governments for a lot longer the the US has been a thing.
In a similar situation here in NZ. On a perm resident visa through partnership, can’t vote, keenly interested in being on my best behaviour here. Labour wasn’t amazeballs, but the current coalition is like watching a pack of dogs with diarrhoea tear through a quiet town. You just know it’ll be on someone else to clean up after them.
