The other half of the argument is financial, handicapping China's economic growth (TikTok, WeChat), and offering a viable alternative to western offerings. Also, does genz really get all their news from TikTok? That would be really stupid which I assume they are not. I can however see Republicans/Dems believing it as fact and make ruling decisions accordingly.

I totally agree. While I would punt the cunt off a cliff without a sweat, it's nice to have her as a constant reminder that if the real neolibs get near the wheel, they'll instantly crash us into the nearest economic lampost.LivDiv wrote:I'm kind of coming around to the idea of her being present is a good thing. An ever present reminder of what happens when one of these buffoons actually gets to be in charge. Unlike Farage or Shapiro who have all the ideas but the 'tragedy' is he can never enact them himself, Truss has had the top job and it was an absolute disaster. She is also a constant thorn in the side of the Tories who would gladly have her disappear if they could. They are the party that allowed this lunatic to rise so high. Her views might hold some appeal in America with those that already hold the same but they might just change their minds when they see her in action and look at her record in office. Trump, Farage, Johnson they have something about them that snares people, Truss absolutely does not have that quality.

The only people whose side she's on are a tiny sect of very wealthy, free enterprise, destroy the state, disaster capitalists. And I think the British public know that. US voters may not know much about her but she doesn't have the charm to breakthrough with them. Truss doesn't have the guile or charisma to hoodwink.RedDave2 wrote:You all underestimate how willing people are to be hoodwinked by someone who is on their "side" and it does seem infinitely worse the further to the capitalism/ republican side in America.
