I feel that wokeness, the moral derangement of the left has reached some kind of tipping point

and the vapors will dissipate on their own.

But the craziness of Trumpistan is so provocative and so seemingly justifying of the craziness in

Wokistan that they mutually create one another at this point.

So if Trump runs in 2024 and if he wins,

or somebody who is just appealing to the Trumpist cult

with the same politics wins,

then I have no intuition as to how long this thing lasts.

And now the good fight with Yasha Monk. There has been a lot going on in the world for the last week or two, but I would be amiss not to comment on the strange developments in the country

when I'm currently spending a little bit of time,

namely the United Kingdom.

I have a few observations

about the ascent of Rishi Sunak to become Prime Minister of Britain and the

near ascent of Boris Johnson who looked for a few days as though he would somehow be able to storm back to office.

A friend of mine said tonight that it's remarkable how unremarkable the ascent of Sunung to the prime ministership feels.

Sunung of course is of Indian origin

and until very recently it was extremely rare for democracies to be governed by members of ethnic minority groups.

It remained somewhat rare but the number of senior politicians from such groups

and even the number of heads of governments from such groups has rapidly been rising over the course of the last decade.

The fact that we don't think of this as huge news is progress and even more important progress

consists in the fact that right-wing parties which are not the parties I would

vote for are able to attract significant support among ethnic minority voter groups
