I wasn't being sarcastic.

Trump supporters are prevalent on the Internet. They are perfectly 
capable of sustaining intelligent conversation.

That is as far as I can tell a reasonable description of what they think 
and feel.

The same thought permeates the soft right here in Britain. The feeling 
that they have been preached to and shat upon by moralising liberals who 
have never done a plumbing course in their lives.

And the Tory party - who ought to be their natural home, are simply no 
better,

Hence the rise of Reform allegedly now out polling Labour
