Fair. Maybe sub in “haven’t processed the scale of” for “don’t fully understand why”. I guess it depends on who is meant by ‘they’.
I definitely don’t get the outright ‘I just don’t like him’ thing.
Beyond that, 2014 made it clear that there’s an establishment class that’ll rally around it’s interests. And I kind of came to terms with the ‘maybe, but not yet’ inertia that is attached to the perceived default status of the UK as is (or more accurately, Britain). And I get that there’d be a similar establishment reason when faced with someone like Corbyn gaining traction. No surprise at all that the media collectively shat itself when faced with the prospect of him bypassing them. But I can’t quite grasp the number of ‘normal’ people who seem absolutely resistant to the prospect of, y’know, trying something different to that which has fucked us over for the best part of half a century. I mean, look at the fucking state of things, arising from decades of Tory policy. And yet people still think Yeah, I’ll have some more of that, please, rather than this bad and dangerous Corbyn guy.
