the best comment I saw on Bluesky was that policies that are far-left communist to an American are just normal life to a European

Yet another blast of extreme, spot on analytics and significant humour..... Just wish you'd had an opportunity to catch a comment* from Sarah Pochin MP on this victory.

*By comment I obviously meant a literal spitting fest, so best to wear a covid visor.

It's funny on one level, but taking a wider perspective it's deeply disturbing to see how the public discourse has sunk to a level where people who write this sort of unhinged, nasty, incoherent, irrational, malicious, hate-filled, provocative, prejudice pandering b*ll*cks have followers who presumably lap it up. How have we got here and how do we get back to sanity?

I have to laugh, otherwise the depth of hatred of their unmasked racism is truly depressing.

Thank for posting those deranged tweets or Xs or whatever the f*ck they are called these days. Saves me getting sucked into an evening of hate-filled dribbling from the reichtwats as they heave themselves onto the fainting sofa

A perfect analysis of the deranged right-wing pearl clutching following a victory for

compassion, equality and competence are somehow dangerous ideas. Most importantly, a victory for Democracy. ✊

My absolute favourite thing in London is sashaying into Soho in my burka so I can buy a goat meat hot dog. The wait time for a camel cab at the weekends is a little frustrating, and sometimes they don't actually want to take you home. But other than that, I'm loving every minute of having an extremist Mayor /s

What I find staggering is the extent of political indoctrination in the USA, which must be pretty much from the cradle. These people obviously genuinely believe that anything vaguely left wing is Marxist, communist, and the actual work of Satan (and of course they don't have a clue who Marx was or what he wrote).

Anyone who doesn't look, think or act like them, scares the shit out of them.

I hope Zohran does half of what he said he wants to do, make a city affordable for the plebs, how dare he.

Evening Bear.

These electoral victories have given the right wing high volume blowhards something to ponder. That for all their rancid propaganda and general gobshitery the truth is a whole load of people just took no notice of them.

Funny that.

And that height impaired specimen of limp celery Moses Mike Johnson who has shut the US legislature to protect POTUS ie the Pedophile of the United States from scrutiny over Epstein is a fruit loop.

The irrationality of GOP Trumpist idealogues beggars belief.

It's increasingly difficult to ascertain how widespread their convictions are, or even to know whether or not they truly believe their own rhetoric.

X has a lot to answer for, from neglecting to impose any kind of fact checking, to skewing content to reflect the most extreme points of view.

It seems all we can do is to use common sense and a generosity of spirit to steer a course through a tempest of total tosh.

Thanks yet again to the Bear for shining a guide light.

“Taxis will be replaced by Camels” 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What are these people on, seriously???

The madness and sadness in this is that people actually believe these hideous, unhinged comments from these insane ghouls.

Brilliant piece Bear, as always.
