There isn't an equivalent focus point in Britain as MAGA/Trump is for the USA. No rallies to attend, few public initiatives to retake our country, quite diffuse resistance to tyranny. It can be quite hard to face due to isolation, and you need people from the same physical and cultural terrain to chew it all over with.
When I see the local church flying Ukraine flags then I know I live in enemy captured territory. I guess if you live in lower coastal California it feels that way, or much of NY state or MA. No doubt there are plenty of British "white hats" — would be nice to meet more of them some day!
I am caught in a weird mid-Atlantic place, where I am not really part of either British or American society. There has to be some kind of transnational crisis or unifying event that forces the focus of all of humanity onto the need for fundamental change at every level.
Praying for President Donald J Trump & all those souls dedicating themselves to saving the world from those who seek to destroy us.
One of my liberal Fakebook friends is traveling alone in the UK from the US. She is enjoying her vacation. However, she is mystified when chatting with locals "All they want to ask me about is Trump!" 🤣

That's a shame - she is no doubt spreading negative propaganda about Trump... which is just supporting the British media.
I talk to my Mum once a week, on Skype, and she says all her friends think she's nuts - they are all still under the UK media's spell.
I think I have convinced Mum the media are nothing more than lying propagandists, the Lord Haw Haws of this generation, only they reside in the UK, not a foreign shore... and periodically she will bring it up with her pals, but, Mum is very much of that generation where fitting in, and being 'popular' is the main event, so I know she does not push too hard to dissuade them.

She didn't say whether they are pro or con Trump or how she responds but President Trump is definitely the topic of interest.

Is your liberal fb connection going to say positive things about Trump?
I honestly don't know. She probably just doesn't want to talk about him at all.

Aye. Probably.
Of course the folk my Mum hangs out with are older, and just don't want to be bothered with it - it eats into their gossip, and ailment swapping time...🙄
I've been chipping away at Mum since 2016, she sees and recognizes the way advertising is being used to push the narrative - every ad she sees now (just one example of the programming), has bi-racial couples.
I keep telling her to just turn it off, and get her news and entertainment online, where she can select what she sees, rather than having their narrative shoved down her throat.
