Maybe this is the truest mark of a civilisation on the brink, this transformation of joke figures like Trump into messianic leaders. There were a few Farages too in the great English sitcoms, these characters mocked as saloon bar bigots, now receiving interesting offers from our old friends, the РІР‚Сљhigh-ranking donorsРІР‚Сњ. Alf Garnett in England became Archie Bunker in America, ridiculous old men to be laughed at, not to be seen rising to positions of actual power.

Succession is riffing on such themes, but it reminds us too of a better time when far-right dingbats were found mainly in TV comedies. And they feel persecuted by the investigation into that attempted coup Trump whipped up on live TV - youРІР‚в„ўd nearly forget that one. These days they are decrying high Covid numbers under Biden, while they themselves encourage the spread of the virus with their deranged culture wars against masks and vaccines and countless other acts of unmitigated eejitry. Now thereРІР‚в„ўs the same kind ofР’В lackadaisical assumption that the trashing of what is left of democracy in America and Britain is unimaginable - even as the РІР‚ВpopulistsРІР‚в„ў and their high-ranking donors are working ceaselessly and often publicly to bring about that denouement.Р”Р„lmost every day of the week Steve Bannon, belligerent ally of Trump and Farage, declares his devout wish to tear everything down, as the legal system grinds away with pathological sluggishness, unable to keep him off the streets for more than a few hours.Р”Р„lmost every day of the week, another act of sabotage of the voting system in America is completed by Republicans, with the get-out that even if they somehow lose the next election, they will simply insist that they won it.

With his open declaration of РІР‚Сљhigh-ranking donorsРІР‚Сњ, Farage was making this episode of Succession look like a round-up of predictable stories in the mainstream media.Р”Р„nd as for the forthcoming РІР‚СљRussian Berlusconi Brazilian f**k-pileРІР‚Сњ, put it like this: If the current favourite wins in America in 2024, unlike РІР‚СљHРІР‚Сњ in the 1940s he can look to a Britain with todayРІР‚в„ўs Oswald Mosley a major power in the land, not some despised collaborator. Last week, in what we still like to call РІР‚Сљreal lifeРІР‚Сњ, Nigel Farage announced: РІР‚СљI have been approached by several high-ranking donors asking me if I am considering getting back into the political arena.РІР‚Сњ The show is currently cracking wise about the various shades of fascism which will be left to the people after the Murdochs of this world have looked after themselves. РІР‚СљHРІР‚Сњ here is Hitler, of course, of the aforementioned Third Reich.

Shiv Roy, who would not totally be committed to the РІР‚ВconservativeРІР‚в„ў line, argued: РІР‚СљIРІР‚в„ўm not saying itРІР‚в„ўs going to be the full Third Reich, but I am genuinely concerned that we could slide into a Russian Berlusconi Brazilian f**k-pile.РІР‚СњР”В«ut an emerging candidate, explaining the broadness of his philosophy, confided to Roman Roy: РІР‚СљIf Franco or H or Travis Bickle had a good pitch, f**k it, IРІР‚в„ўm a man for all seasons.РІР‚Сњ It was assumed these things are determined in lavish hotel suites by media tycoons like Murdoch (or Roy, if you like) debating among themselves the suitability of their candidates. There was no question of РІР‚Сљthe peopleРІР‚Сњ making such calls. Last week the Roy family were busy deciding who would be the next president of the United States.

The hottest TV drama series of the moment, Succession, is keeping on top of it, though. Unable or unwilling to process that, most of us get back to our everydayР’В concerns - no doubt there were everyday concerns in the 1930s too, though most are long forgotten. And we also accept, at some level, that if this favourite were to win in 2024, much of what we know as РІР‚Вthe western worldРІР‚в„ў would be in a state it has not been in since the late 1930s.

Again.Р”В«ut if it could never happen (again), it would be more like 3,000-1, when in fact it is no higher than 3-1. ItРІР‚в„ўs one of those things we accept at some level as a reality, while in another part of our heads we think it can never happen. I just checked out the betting on the next president of the United States.
