Don't group the US and the UK together here. The UK is on track to expel most of their Conservatives in the next surprise election because the Conservative in charge is an impulsive man-baby. The US is on track to hold their very last election as they fall into a tyranny built by Christofacists and Ultracapitalists and lead by the most ridiculous cult of personality you've ever seen.
Eh? Labour has been racing over to the right since Starmer buried all of his leadership election pledges and surrounded himself with all the most reactionary neo-liberal ghouls he could find. They're little different in political outlook from the 2010-15 tory-libdem coalition. Austerity and the "sensible" backing of the expedient genocides here we come.
They aren't out and out fascists but they are heaving that Overton window to the right, so fascist rhetoric will flourish.
