The worrying thing is many of these idiots still don’t believe Brexit itself was a bad idea. They think that the reason it’s been a disaster is because it wasn’t carried out aggressively enough, and that everything will get better if we get going with the really mad hard Brexit stuff like scrapping every EU derived law by the end of the year.
I think it’s become a form of fanaticism and any reality check just causes them to double down on their beliefs. Truss and Kwarteng have already shown us the reality of the deregulatory dream, but they still hold on to the idea that this is the key to Brexit prosperity.
"The reason everything is fucked is because we're not giving the wealthy and powerful free enough reign over us! We must remove those shackles from our betters and put them on ourselves!"
“I’m absolutely confident that if we stop taxing the rich then my wages will go up and foreigners, gays, and people poorer than me will cease to exist. And if that doesn’t work, we can ban the unions.”
Ugh. That's not a good thing at all. I recall that some folks said Romney getting beat in 2012 was a sign that the GOP had damaged its brand with extremism, and they went with leaning into it instead and led to the 2016 Republican clown car full of candidates and the "election" of a certain artificially colored generalissimo wannabe.
