Boris [Johnson], I don't know whether people outside the country that is great again know him, reminds me very much of Winston Churchill.

Donald Trump has a campaign slogan which is obviously based on a phrase often half-jokingly, self-deprecatingly used in Britain to describe [Great] Britain always trying to become great again.

Trump seems to me at least a bit borderline crazy, probably genuinely having borderline traits. But I'm no expert on Trump or the US psyche.

Churchill had BP.

Boris (just) "Boris" Johnson, also a Conservative politician, who will be the new UK prime minister, is a more considerate and probably more intelligent version of Trump, in many ways. They are both bold and charismatic (okay, Boris arguably an awful lot more) and they know the importance of emotion.

I'm not saying I agree with many of the ideas of Boris or Trump (less so Trump), but it's almost preferable (and in the case of Boris I truly believe it is, very, very much so) to the naive, calculating, cold, emotionless, easily corrupted and swayed, bean-counting "liberals", who really are far too naive to do much of anything.

ISIS/ISIL has been allowed to grow after power vacuums created and maintained primarily by the US. Liberalism can be extremely dangerous.

Without Churchill, it's not unlikely we'd still have an iron curtain (which is being re-erected in a way by the EU) and we would have supported Hitler for much longer because he was good for the economy.

Clinton and Obama are spineless. It's fine that they don't do anything wrong, but they do allow for wrongdoing.

Would you (dare to) vote (if you still have a democracy) for a politician with BP or BPD?
