MAGA has a new cautionary tale: England
The Washington Post ^ | September 6, 2025 | Katie Tarrant

Posted on 09/06/2025 6:58:25 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Leaders of the MAGA movement have a new warning: Don’t let America become like Britain. That was the howling conclusion at a conference of MAGA-aligned policymakers and think tanks this week in Washington, where elite voices, many with close ties to President Donald Trump, painted a dystopian, misleading and anti-Muslim picture of England as a bastion for dangerous immigrants. Stephen K. Bannon, Trump’s former chief of staff who continues to be an influential adviser, decried the “threat of Islamism in the U.K.,” positioning Britain as a cautionary tale of how mass migration could affect the United States. Others called the former colonial power a frontier in a war over civilization, complaining that Britain’s establishment was too tolerant of Muslim immigrants. “England is heading to a civil war as we speak,” Bannon argued to a warm but sparse crowd at the Westin DC Downtown for the National Conservatism conference, which also heard this week from members of the administration, U.S. senators and leading Republican thinkers.

“They have a problem with radical Islam that they have not dealt with,” he said. The warped picture of Britain as a country overrun by a Muslim immigrant population was a thread running throughout the conference. The warnings, though dark, were coupled with praise for the rise of European parties running on anti-Islam and anti-immigration platforms, reflecting the deepening ties between Britain’s hard-right Reform UK Party and the right-wing populists in the U.S. who form the backbone of MAGA. Immigration has become a flash point in the U.K. in part because of high levels of the most visible forms of illegal immigration, including 29,000 people who have crossed the English Channel in small boats this year.

The number of asylum seekers reached a record level in 2024, with claims from people from majority-Muslim countries...

The Washington Post should stay with what they know: defending criminals, illegals and monsters who want to sexually mutilate children.

This whole piece from the ‘where elite voices’ phrase is used sucks. The twit pretends ‘elites’ not a conservative defined term. It’s a if one of us said ‘where 1% voices’... painted a dystopian... The Washington Post sucks.

Eff em. They let themselves be disarmed. The plurality voted labor. They look down their noses at America and our Second Amendment. They were happy to have no freedom of speech. They have a condescending dumbass as a king. so they made their bed now lie in it. I look forward to seeing them prove my hypothesis that NAZIS were not abnormal, but simply the result of government growing without constraints on its power - just like the Democrats want to do here. Mao’s China, Stalin’s Russia examples of unrestrained government in action.

Not to worry, Britain will always be there for us when she needs us.

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that the UK Home Secretary -- the person in charge of the police, borders, immigration, and MI5 -- is a Pakistani Muslim.

Let that sink in. The police, borders, immigration and MI5 overseen by someone with an ideology of conquest of the West of which the UK is a part of.

“Don’t let America become like Britain”

Islam’s Army is at war with the UK, EU and
Scandinavian Countries and they are losing. Their army is also present in the US and are engaging in minor battles such as supporting “From the River to the Sea” and “Free Palestine” protests. Wake up America.

a dystopian, misleading and anti-Muslim picture of England as a bastion for dangerous immigrants

Carl Benjamin (i.e. the English youtuber Sargon of Akkad) and his team at the Lotus Eaters have compiled enough documentary evidence to show that, far from being misleading, it UNDERsells the problem.

The laws that England has enacted regarding misinformation and disinformation are horrific and terrifying.

That could be fixed if England modified them to say that a person had the right to free speech, but government representatives and news organizations were subject to the disinformation and misinformation laws.

As it is I, or anyone posting in this thread, could be arrested if we flew to England next week because of what we are posting here. It does not matter that we are posting in the USA, what matters to them is that anyone in the UK can read these posts, making us criminals in their eyes.

The man arrested for anti-homosexual posts was not British but Irish. Ireland has been independent of the UK for a century. Granted he was a screen writer and high profile but the precedent has been established.

At least Lenin and Stalin were direct and upfront. The current crop of American, Western European, and Commonwealth communists couch their oppression with weasel words like limiting the spread of disinformation, protecting the "systematically oppressed", or eliminating the patriarchy. They may not have killed at Bolshevik levels but they are still at the early stages.
