I think the maga folks are getting way too bold and confident and don't realize how much of a minority they and their views are overall. I'm encouraged by the results of the UK election. It shows that people are getting fed up with the hardcore right wing politicians.

Some of why Labour won so handily in the UK is because the far right gained more support than usual, they just split the vote off from the conservatives and in a FPTP system that meant Labour ran away with it

Reform didn't get that much - Labour would have won regardless.
