The thing that worries me here is: I don’t think this guy at all understands what has happened. It’s not that he’s a propagandist or a bullshitter - he’s just so genuinely clueless that he can’t even see the edges of the disaster, and the consequences won’t make any sense to him. https://twitter.com/flying_rodent/status/1350762652000202752
I mean, look at this: his British version of the Capitol attack is... the opposition parties winning power. This is the mentality we’re dealing with here.
If I was this guy, I’d be worried that the power of traditional media is declining at the same time the Conservative Party’s electoral base is preparing to kick the bucket en masse, and the upcoming generations are unlikely to forget who it was that fucked them over, and how.
God knows how it will play out but half of these chuckling idiots are barely aware that there will be a big bill to pay.
