I'm sure they'll find a way to blame the Labour government for the global economic collapse that is coming our way. It worked in 2008, after all.

we're dealing with everyday life market processes that hit voters from different milieus directly. To default to "muh all voters stupid" tropes you can see spreading among the UK and US liberal/left is to fatalistically embrace defeat before a fight is even started

At the moment the over the top fatalism among the UK and US liberal/left worries me as much as a lot of what the Right produces

Do you believe such fatalism is a sincere stance ppl hold, or is it more performative “woker than thou” signaling at work? (Not doing the left any favors either way, obvs.)

Fair point. I try not to give into fatalistic musings, but the screens of the right being met with demure or shrugging from liberals is...well, it's not exactly encouraging.
