It’s scary!
Brits are always scared. They’re all shaking with fear about Trump on FB. What’s wrong with them?

They were mauled in WWI, losing most of their best. They were mauled in the Battle of France, routed and saved by civilians, but left their arms behind. Then they faced invasion and conquest that was narrowly averted through the Battle of Britain and American assistance. Then their empire fell to tatters at the end of WWII, and they have been our side kick and flunky since, only exerting some influence here and there. The 20th Century was a long, horrible process of emasculation of British power and confidence. Trump comes along like a dinosaur out of time, like Kitchener or Churchill or Harris or even Kipling, who reflected a culture.
If we don’t reel in the excesses of the left and of the interventionist and globalist “right” (I regard them as a kind of leftist), I can see this century doing the same to us. Look already at the decline from men like Patton, LeMay, Pershing or Mitchell to men whose names we can hardly remember ten minutes after they’ve spoken.
