Summary
Donald Trump’s influence on global right-wing politics is waning as his association increasingly becomes a political liability.
In the UK, Nigel Farage’s popularity has dropped, with 53% of Reform Party supporters now viewing Trump unfavorably. This shift undermines Farage’s chances of political success.
Internationally, leaders like Canada’s Pierre Poilievre and Italy’s Giorgia Meloni are distancing themselves from Trump.
Meanwhile, Trump’s economic promises have faltered, with US growth forecasts down and stock markets struggling.
The fading appeal of Trumpism marks the end of his ideological hold on Westminster politics.
Glad the rest of the world is learning from our mistake.
Trump’s playbook is Attack, Deny and Never Admit Defeat. This is no joke, he’s not going to let reality spoil the party.
I just don’t get it. He could have used the Defense Production Act to lower prices of eggs and he would have been a HERO to the working class idiots that voted for him. He would have ensured that no Democrat ever wins another election. Instead he was like, “Y’all are about to be poor for awhile while I do the dumbest shit you’ve ever seen. Watch this shit. Fuck your egg prices, I’m going to pretend to steal Canada, Greenland, and Panama City Beach or some shit.”
That’s assuming he’s even considering that there will be future elections. Or at least elections in which the oligarchs have a chance of losing (I’m still betting Trump plans on living forever and never ceding power because narcissist).
Rhetoric that there won’t be future elections is straight up pussy shit. Go lay down and die somewhere else.
I’m willing to bet that they get a “2nd wind”, where some kind of tipping-point removes obstacles to their dismantling of our world’s civilization…
It was Richard Stutely’s book “The Definitive Business Plan” which identified that there is ONE thing that startups & businesses planning a market-expansion NEVER do:
understand the opponent’s countermeasures.
Is anybody looking into the right-wing discussions, to see how they are going to rally/adapt/evolve?
XOR is this just “looking at the foam on the sea & making pronouncements on the rip-current’s ‘not’ existing”?
Further, there is a tipping-point crossed, in the US, whereby it’s irreversible: there simply is no way for the US to get back into representative-republic territory, now: too much got dismantled, already, & it isn’t slowing-down.
In Europe, they’re still working-on getting that far, right?
& the Heritage Foundation, the original puppetmasters designing Trump’s whole operation…

( that tracks their breathtaking accomplishment-speed )
now working on Europe…
that is about their plan to dismantle the EU for themselves…
https://www.factcheck.org/2024/09/a-guide-to-project-2025/
for 1 window into what their plans are.
Do the anti-fascist-“society” forces within the countries outside of the US have enough pragmatism, enough objectivity, enough uprightness, to resist the Combined Arms ( attacking from ALL angles possible, until the opponent fails ) assaulting of the far-right, for their converting-the-Western-world-to-a-bunch-of-Russias-owned/ruled-by-them??
… I am not betting on it, tbh.
Responsibility & accountability are both their enemies, but both responsibility & accountability are the enemies of … ALL political-entities??
Politics itself opposes responsibility & accountability, doesn’t it?
Which sets the underlying problem thus:
IF politics opposes both responsibility & accountability, because it wasnt ONLY authority-on-others,
AND ALL the political-factions are working to have political-authority-on-others,
THEN … how the hell could anybody get what political-motivation doesn’t want, accountability & responsibility, to be the core of any political-“answer”??
The political basis for any countermeasure hamstrings its trueness-of-aim!
To me, this identifies that politics, itself, has to be removed from ruling our world: its nature won’t allow the integrity required to keep us alive, during The Great Filter, when political-tantrum, religious-tantrum, ClimatePunctuation, food-chain-degradation/collapse, panic-migrations, totalitarianism, etc, all vie for being the “ruler” of the world, while we try to NOT face our own unconscious-mind’s bulling-ignorance ( which created this whole mess, & which would rather kill us completely-off than force-grow-up ).
Find 1 country which has the integrity to remove political-motivation with successful machiavellianism, from being significant in its representatives’ government…
I don’t believe there is 1 on this world.
Yet it would require a majority-of-NATO to do exactly that kind of thing, to survive what’s gradually blowing-up-in-our-faces…

He’s a cult leader. Cult leader’s spells are only broken when they die.
I do worry though for a sort of dig in in their policies. Similar to Putin before the invasion. A lot of the far right said that “yes, a strong autocrat, masculin, anti-woke, homophobic person like Putin would be the saviour of Europe”. Now some of them, like almost split in the middle, stopped saying “those things are good, look at Putin”, but lost no support after the invasion. With Trump its going to be a similar thing, is my worry. “Yeah, but Trump is a bafoon, but massdeportation, autocracy, and capital’s control over the government are still important, we will just to ot the proper way” is what it will move to. And of course a lot of europeans, even on the far right, will breath a deep sigh of relief that they can call Trump a bafoon. I think, or worry more like it, it will marginally affect the support for the fra-right, if at all, the liberals that has not already joined the far-right or the socdems will try to shoehorn in a comparison to Trump at every argument, and they will get nowhere.
God I hope so
