Oddbean new post about login | logout @d21c1652 @1eccc0f8 Some of the Tory right are Screaming Jeezus Pipple, but they know it's a vote-loser in the UK so they mostly keep it on the down-low. In particular the USA's growing fundamentalist christianity/white supremacy intersection is vestigial/non-existent in the UK.
@0c1a9324 @1eccc0f8 indeed the two movements feel related but different, also "Trumpism" I worry is a gloss to avoid naming growing fascism. Miriam Cates is the example giving me the most fear of something similar growing in the UK, and a lot of the anti-trans/anti-abortion stuff occurring here is using resources and ideas from the US but still a different flavour. As you say its being kept quiet for fear of losing votes, being loudly religious in the UK seems a vote loser (currently).
