"The people have spoken, the bastards." Dick Tuck, a key adviser in Robert F. Kennedy 's 1968 presidential campaign.An overwhelming and yet somewhat surprising result with the Republicans holding the Presidency, controlling the Congress, and having a majority on the Supreme Court and of state Governors.But more important the vast majority of 'ordinary' American people have decided what they want from their leadership.Seemingly someone showing a bit of patriotism, willing to address illegal immigration and most importantly get the economy moving and put more money in their pockets.And less race and gender based wokism. Don't we also ?They don't believe Trump is a fascist or will turn the US into a fascist state.Fascism -'characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.What aspects of the above do people think Trump subscribes to or the US Constitution would enable him to impose were he to want to ?Closer to home, I will be watching out for Labour's first major ministerial re-shuffle.Who would make a good replacement Foreign Secretary and would have a good rapport with the new US administration to our benefit ?Starmer would probably chose Dawn Butler. 😁
