It seems everyone in the UK was crossing their fingers, hoping that Donald Trump would lose the 2024 US presidential election according to a Yougov poll. However there was one vocal and billionaire-media-propelled minority demographic that would be over the moon with a Trump victory, Reform voters.
They got what they wanted. Donald Trump swept to victory even taking the popular vote, the first Republican to do so in 20 years. The people of Clacton-on-sea must be rejoicing in one of the most deprived towns in England. Their MP and supposed buddy of Trump, can now brown-nose the head honcho again, rather than just a felon desperately trying to stay out of prison.
Farage of course, wasted no time in asserting his grovelling subservience towards the orange president elect, offering his bootlicking services as an intermediary. The Labour government politely declined the nationalist populist’s obvious publicity stunt for his cult-like followers.
So what does a Trump victory mean to Britain? It seems a lot of Reform voters still believe there is a ‘special relationship’ with the USA. God knows we need it after the economic own-goal that was Brexit. It barely existed in the first place and died when we left the EU. However, it was what the baby boomer generation was spoon fed and they’re gripping on to it, star spangled banner in hand and union jack downstairs.
The truth is, Trump only cares about the UK if it can be used and abused for his own and in a very poor second, his country’s benefit. Farage is (in our view alone), more than happy to pimp out the country to further his own career and line his own pockets. All while Reform voters (Britain’s maga right-wing fundamentalists), happily root for a president who wanted to be a dictator on day one and implement a playbook of fascistic policies with Project 2025. Perhaps they secretly want Farage to be their very own Il Duce? That would wind up the left, which is all their politics amounts to.
