Another one bites the dust

"A councillor has resigned 10 days after winning a seat in the local elections because her "business commitments have expanded rapidly".

Reform UK's Danielle Cavanagh won one of three seats in the High Fell ward of Gateshead Council from Labour in the local elections on 7 May.

A statement from chair of Reform's Gateshead Central and Whickham group Lindsay Atkinson said it was not a decision "taken lightly" by Cavanagh, but the party was "very confident" of holding the seat."

The American (MAGA) dream/delusion versus why are so many white working class men into Farage?

I sort of 'get' why there was always this 'grifter' respect in the US, and how if you work hard enough you too could be a millionaire thing. The American Dream. And obviously just that because 'gestures' what it is today - only after, what, 300 years? And all that founded on no-wages re built on slavery. Yet still 80% of US people are poor and from 'pay check to pay check' as they say. Their healthcare is tied to employment (like NI) and they still have to pay in anyway (like NI) but there is no access to it unless some insurer says they can have that cancer treatment and, no, an ambulance will cost extra. They pay all that, and get shit.

So how the effing fuck, since our life since the mid 20th century is founded after years of fighting for it on different things - on welfare, caring for people who don't have enough, social housing, decent education - are Reform voters falling for the guff that Farage is spouting from the US and also from the barbaric state of Russia, which has basically fallen between both 'things' and is neither, other than a country of corruption in and between all their people, whether rich or poor?

I don't get how none of the politial parties are doing simple flow chart social media to explain this shit to them.

I really wish they would.

Edit: I didn't address the 'men' bit in my splurge. Sorry. Just they are all (mostly) just angry white men. No idea. Why isn't that anger being directed towards rich bastards?
