Welcome back to the show.
While the Brits were waking up in the ruins of their nation and saying, "oh god,
what have we done," a lot of Americans were looking over and saying, "oh god, what
are we about to do?"
(JONES) this is the end of the world as we know it
OK. They don't want no immigrants. Does that sound familiar?
They don't want multiculturalism. Does that sound familiar?
Not only can Trump win, Trump is probably gonna win. Not because he's
smart, but because we're so stupid that we keep telling people that can't happen
here
It just happened in the UK. Slap your friends upside the head,
freak the F out, run screaming around in your underwear up and down the street and
tell people it happened over there, and it's coming over here
Has anyone checked on Van to see if he's okay? But I get where he's coming from,
the Brexit vote was driven by angry, less educated, older white voters who feel
screwed by globalization and the establishment and have been fed a chip
buddy of xenophobia slathered in slogan sauce
Cuz they're stealing our jobs and all this nonsense and
they're bringing crime and terrorism, it's just nonsense
Hey, you should get that on a hat! Even a brain-damaged baboon couldn't
miss the parallels between the US and Britain
I really do see a parallel between what's happening in the United States
and what happened what's happening here
See? Rupert Murdoch's New York Post, the Twitter egg of newspapers, cheered our
mutual populist rebellion against the globalization that allowed an Australian
billionaire to shove his british tabloid Empire down America's gagging throat
then there's the sad conservative leader who gambled the nation's future on his
ability to control the extremists in his own party and lost
yes, OK, we get it, it's Ryan. Now, with Cameron choosing not to preside over
England's countrywide reenactment of V for Vendetta,
the likeliest successor is former London mayor and Europhobe, Boris Johnson
a dignified and capable statesman seen here demonstrating how immigrants might
sneak past England's beloved borders.
He also called Obama Kenyan. Basically, he's Trump with his hair on backwards.
America shouldn't be complacent
but you also shouldn't panic and move to Canada. Canada asked me to say that
America is not Britain. Being not Britain is pretty much central to the whole
America brand
So is immigration. Been there, done that, got the squalid tenement. With the notable
exception of 1066, Britain didn't really encounter large-scale immigration until
the second half of the 20th century when Spaniards started washing up on England's
Shores and breaking their hotels.
There is too much butter on those trays.
No, no no senor, not on those trays. So sir.
Uno, dos, tres.
Hahahaha, foreigners are so stupid. And I'll let you in on a secret
Some Brits haven't quite adapted to the newcomers yet.
There is absolutely no way I'm a racist.
The only people I do have problems with are negroes.
And I don't know why.
Whether it's karma from a previous life,
Yeah, Ukipt Shirley MacLaine, I think it's more that you're a racist. If it were karma,
you'd come back as a black, Polish Imam. For British bigots, the Brexit vote was like
white Christmas and the day after was like racist Boxing Day, which they
celebrated by harassing every person in Britain with brown skin or a Polish
accent, including school children. If you dream of a world free of political
correctness and want to see what that really looks like,
check out hashtag PostRefRacism. Not now, I don't want you crying through
my show. That is really the worst outcome of Brexit -- not the breakup of the EU or
the fact that you can now use the British pound as loo paper,
it's that the vote made these hateful morons think that over half the country
agreed with them
This is why it's not enough for Trump to lose, it has to be a fucking landslide, 50
state repudiation of this
you idiot, you are specifically voting for a situation where you'll have to
make your own tortilla
but back to the helpful stuff, the United Kingdom is eighty-seven percent white.
It's like if the country music awards were an actual country. America is far
more multiracial and that's important because if America were as white as
Britain,
we'd be in trouble come November. So if Trump loses, white folks better not
forget to take a person of color out to a fancy
"thanks for saving the country again" dinner.
And you know the other thing that America has that Britain lacks? A butt
ton of evangelical Christians
Thank God. Yeah, you heard that right
America's largest Protestant denomination has wrapped up its annual
gathering in St. Louis. Members passed resolutions that encourage Southern
Baptists to welcome refugees into their homes and churches
that's potentially 15 million Christians telling Trump, go tinkle up a border wall.
And it's not new. For years, evangelical churches have been embracing refugees,
defying political calls to block them, and even standing up to Islamophobia.
Dr. Moore,
I would like to know how in the world someone within the Southern Baptist
Convention can support the defending of Rights for Muslims to construct mosques
in the United States when these people threaten our very way of existence as
Christians and Americans.
sometimes we have really hard decisions to make, this isn't one of those things
what it means to be a Baptist is to support soul freedom for everybody
Now that is the shining city on a hill. Not
only does that Southern Baptist leader defend soul freedom,
he's also a regular on the dance line
so take heart. I mean, we can still wreck everything if we forget to vote --
it wouldn't be the first time -- but Trump's brand of right wing, racist,
anti-immigrant demagoguery isn't American. It's a European import. And if
we're smart we'll stop it at the border and send it back where it came from
we'll be right back
