Yanks love to be like "our country can be easily saved from Fascism in a way the Brits can't" but our Prime Minister can be replaced at a whim unlike your functionally untouchable for four years Elective Emperor, who you've been saving guns up for two centuries to overthrow when he arose but haven't

Under normal circumstances, this would be true. However, our Congress and Supreme Court have abdicated their duties and fully defer to Trump. The people are the only thing resisting right now.

What makes him so untouchable is the legislature, whose whim is needed for the removal of the PM in a westminster style parliamentary system.

I mean we're potentially doomed to a fash PM but that's from the same voting system you use for Congress and at least our shit version is like "City West", "County North", and not "District 12: one 37th of Austin and a snake out to the fuckin state border through the reddest counties possible"

So true. "America First" existed long before that lying, cheating, stealing, knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, fat-assed, little -handed, orange-colored buffoonslimed its way down its fake gold escalator. The original "America First" loudly objected to America's entry into WWII.
