Just seen that.

Someone has said it is the new normal now for the US politics, which means it will be coming to the UK at some point soon.

I worked with the boy that was done for threatening Sturgeon a few years ago. He had a very good job and is an otherwise intelligent guy, but he was way out of it with his politics.

We have a few committed Trump followers in my work now who hold some VERY extreme views on the UK Labour party.

The folk here who are in to him are pathetic and petrifying. The cult of 'celebrity' is terrifying. Friend has had to cut off all contact with her daughter and family as they have gone full conspiracy nut - the whole lot of them - just non stop, into all that Q-anon or whatever ****e. She tried to overlook it, tell them shes not interested etc but it's all they talk about and they were trying to indoctrinate the other kids in the family, it's taken over their lives. Bat**** enough over there but when you're in Aberdeen genuinally astonishing.

Said for years I'm amazed no-one has tried to shoot Trump yet. Now there are two who have missed? Like Vintage I smell a rat.

My two brothers are disciples of Trump, Farage and Neil Oliver to name just three.

I'm not sure if it's connected with the oil industry and the sense of entitlement that it brings for many in it.
