What Is Happening To Our Country?

I don’t agree with turning the volume down. We are in danger of going down the same road as the US. For every extremist nutter you see there are dozens of people who quietly agree that people like Farage and Lowe “have a point” and swallow the nationalistic bullshit without bothering to look at what these people really stand for. Even if they don’t win the next election (🙏) they could win enough seats to cause bigger problems. They are already making huge waves with only a small handful of elected MPs.

You only have to look at the number of MAGA idiots who still think that Trump is doing a great job to see what could happen here if we allow the lunatics to run the asylum.

More people on here, a Southampton football forum, probably read it than the whole of Devon.

Sometimes it’s better to turn the volume down on flag shagging morons with 10 followers (and being Plymouth probably related to each other).

Most are aware of dangerous routes and parallels with 1930s Germany but you see it everywhere and dilutes when you might actually have a point. Stop pissing your pants on a daily basis and going looking for what some nutters might be doing online

When you think about it’s not just this country the whole world is deal with the same problems. Mass immigration, the LGBTQ+ movement, high taxes, declining services, feminism, business profiteering whilst squeezing every penny they can from working people,  lefties that can’t hold a conversation with someone who doesn’t agree with them without losing their shit.

Yeah not sure the LGBTQ+ movement, whatever that is, is a problem? Or feminism?

They seem to be, for a certain type of person who struggle with other people who don’t conform with their prejudices.
