USA: Colossal, era-defining election, division, disruption, the lingering threat of unrest, people full of opinions and uncertainty

UK: You seen the size of Gary Barlow's son? He's fucking massive

In 2022 the Tories increased employer NI to 15 percent and there was no media meltdown. In 2023 they reduced it to 13.8 percent.

Labour have put it back up to 15 percent.

Media are deliberately exaggerating its impact on business.

A century ago, Germany’s democracy was hijacked by a bombastic and charismatic tyrant — and in this five-minute video, you’ll learn how he did it. Why did I produce this? Because I believe that history is speaking to us, and all too often, those who refuse to learn from it are doomed to repeat it.

As you watch, imagine filling out a Bingo card filled with Germany 1933/USA 2024 parallels: big rallies, rage-filled and hateful rhetoric, simple answers promising quick and easy solutions to complicated problems, empty promises of a great-again future, scapegoating outsiders, and political enemies silenced on day one. And notice the caring wisdom and concern from my German friends as they share these lessons from their dark history.

It’s hard to understand how Trump could, on the eve of a tight election, paint a picture of Liz Cheney before a firing squad by actually saying, “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her, OK? And let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.” You can’t get into the mind of a dictator with an insatiable appetite for power — but you can recognize the playbook they all seem to follow.

Just watch this clip. It’s excerpted from my hourlong public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” which is streaming free (and ad-free) at https://t.co/YA10kVH0V8. If you care about our democracy and love our country, it’s hard to stop watching.

When I produced this in 2018, I hoped this day would never come in our country. But November 5th is upon us. Please share this with anyone in your life who might need a reminder that the stakes are high...and this is very real.

Farage:

"When I stood on the stage in 2016... I said as a foreigner, I'm not going to tell you who to vote for".

Farage at 2016 Trump rally:

"If I was an American citizen, I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton".

"We didn't have guns. The others had guns. But we didn't have guns."

The "others" are the police who were defending the Capitol.

Maybe we’re just old-fashioned but some of us are a bit funny about all the lies, raping, and treason.
