A reply from someone with some common sense and some idea of history :

I can't help but laugh though that the would-be  British strongman is...

So you don't take him seriously, so his route to political power is made easier; as was the case with that amiable buffoon Boris Johnson.   

Tyr, he's an extreme right winger, you should take his political manoeuvrings very seriously.

Oh I do. He's dangerous no doubt. Its shocking how the lumpens will even doff their caps to him.
And of course people laughed at Hitler too.
But...yes. I laugh. Its a laugh at how utterly ridiculous the world has become that this man is an actual threat.

Wait, Trump gets things done? 

If only Obama, Bush, and Clinton had tweeted more people wouldn't have thought they were do-nothings. Though I guess Bill lacked the technology at the time.

Anyway I don't consider running an organized crime ring disguised as a government is getting things done as far as the other three guys...at least not things I want to get done.

Casting call for Harry Potter - the later years

Rees-Mogg

I am basically in a race with him, hoping to get citizenship before he becomes PM.

After less than two weeks with the new minister/secretary/whatever his title, Raab, in charge of it, the Brexit Ministry has been basically closed down in all but name: Cabinet office is taking over Brexit matters.

Raab is still shellshocked I guess:

Raab tells MPs the government has no plans to draw a border down the "Red Sea". He corrects himself, and says he meant the Irish sea.

The level of incompetence is pretty staggering.

Looks like no deal, and a hard crash for the UK. Scotland will probably get out within 2-3 years.

And there's a "new IRA" trying to stir up trouble in NI as well. Granted, it's just a handful of guys at the moment but they are trying hard.

Casting call for Harry Potter - the later years

I don't know how well known it is overseas but traditionally the most well known comic book character in the UK is probably Dennis the Menace.
One of the supporting characters of Dennis is Walter/Reece-Mogg.

Reminds me of the firebrand commie in Dr Zhivago.

I think May has under performed at what was probably an impossible task, but I still think Cameron deserves the massive share of blame, easily the worst PM the Brits have had in my living memory.
