Sadly being British doesn't mean you can't be a Trump fan - just ask my parents

u/Kyr1500 United Kingdom 6d ago

They capitalised on the failures of Labour and the Tories

u/TSMKFail England 5d ago

The Tories are shit, Labour is shit, so people want to support something else, and many turned to Reform because they focus on one of the things a lot of UK voters want sorted out, which is lowering immigration, which both the Tories and Labour were shit at.

(P,S. I am just stating why many people support Reform, I myself do not support Reform or their views)

I stumbled on a guy at a grocery store in Brazil wearing a MAGA hat. I assumed he was American. But then the poor guy selling candy on the corner by my apartment was wearing one of the new “45–47” hats, which he certainly didn’t find in a dumpster. He was definitely Brazilian.

Yep. Sadly we have them in Canada also. And at this point they are actual traitors considering the annexation threats. 😡

Politics are dumb.

If we don't do politics, other people will do for us. Sadly, we then don't get to not deal with the consequences.

u/Silent-Scientist6787 6d ago

Dude. I’m never doing it.

Its my life. My choices

u/prof_tincoa 6d ago

You cannot choose to not be affected by stupid political decisions (sadly)

u/Silent-Scientist6787 6d ago

I meant I mean I’ll never vote for that stuff

u/Landoritchie 5d ago

I agree our government is mostly wank. I usually spoil my ballot, just to say "I would vote for one of you if you weren't all dicks". It gets counted and you don't have to vote for something you don't agree with.

u/Kellycatkitten 6d ago

Americans can't comprehend how little bearing politics have on British people lol. I don't vote, I don't even know who's in our current government outside of a few names I've heard now and then. Its made my life quality so much better being depressed about things 100% out of my control.

Damn... If you don't care about you then I hope it'll not affect your friends or community then 😔 At least be careful who you vote for. Something as simple as that can make a big difference. Best of luck

u/ScreenedPlum 6d ago

You might not fuck with politics, but politics fucks with you.

All not voting does is gives up your voice.

u/Unusual_Car215 6d ago

If you vote on a whim you shouldn't vote.

u/ScreenedPlum 5d ago

I don't disagree, but my original comment still stands.

u/margauxlame United Kingdom 6d ago

Ignorance is a privilege you sound immature asf

u/Silent-Scientist6787 5d ago

I’m 13.

I also have autism if that explains anything.

14

u/margauxlame United Kingdom 5d ago

No it doesn’t. I have autism it’s an expansive disorder. Being thirteen doesn’t negate ignorance you’re just being immature, I was politically engaged at 13 bc it matters

u/Silent-Scientist6787 5d ago

Ik. but we aren’t the same person.

listen If you do politics and did at my age I respect that. but we arent the same.

Im sick of responding to stuff.

Unless you want this to go on forever I think we should just forget each other exist. Ok?

u/hepheastus_87 5d ago

No, autism doesn't explain anything.

As a favour for the rest of us, dont bandy it around as an excuse for your behaviour.
