The UK & The USA - Two sides of the same selfish populist coin right now

Saw this comment in the guardian comment section. Don't know who wrote it but it was commenting on an article about Boris Johnson and what his stint in number 10 might look like... Could equally be talking about the current 'administration' in the WH though, right?

We are all literally at a populist cross road of bollocks (to be technical

)

Those who whine about the DNC and the party in general should take a long look at what a fucked up mess the Labour Party is in Britain. It’ll make you feel better.

they'll never be the Kings and Queens they want to be with all that "outside interference" from Brussels, rite? At least the Dumpster doesn't have that kind of thing blocking his path to kingship.
