      We’ve imported the culture wars from the US.

      There’s a range of anti trans lobbyists in the UK that are US funded, and our government is hoping that if you scare people about migrants and trans people for long enough, we’ll forget that it’s actually the Tory party that is destroying the country and vote them back in.

      We have a very right wing cabinet, mainly due to everybody else getting kicked out/ resigning. They are very likely to get kicked out themselves next year, but due to the fixed term parliament law they are basically untouchable until then, so they are getting as much shit done as they can before they get replaced.

      texan conservatives taken steps to force the laws and institutions to mitigate backlash against conservative beliefs, so they’re less afraid to inflict their beliefs onto the generate population and conservatives around the world are taking note and applying it for themselves; this is one of those steps.

      it works incredibly well here in texas and i’m so happy to be leaving it.
