Just to save people asking me the question, yes, I think there is a direct equivalence - moral and practical - between someone like Trump and someone like Dan Hodges.

i just think hodges is an absolute, simon-pure idiot. one of those people a bit like lolico where there’s no point thinking about anything that he says other than for the lols and to note “this is what an idiot sounds like and says”.
― Fizzles, Thursday, 7 January 2021 21:59 (three years ago) link
yeah but at least lolico is so utterly ridiculous and clueless that he's mildly amusing at times. I've never laughed at this guy once, even when he's at the ridiculum full-moon stage.

I always marvel that Hodges came up with this, post-Sandy Hook, which is OTM, and yet everything else is absoulte drivel
In retrospect Sandy Hook marked the end of the US gun control debate. Once America decided killing children was bearable, it was over.— (((Dan Hodges))) (@DPJHodges) June 19, 2015

'You can't say anything anymore' was a trope going strong in 2003 or so. I know because I used to hang around on a blog that took apart Daily Mail articles in fine detail. 'Political correctness' a term from Maoism, but been around since the 80s.

Those complaining about an alleged 'PC' in the 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s never, ever seemed to have any substance to me

Obvs many of the usual suspects continue to do so. As they're so used to making shit up, I doubt they've particularly noticed whatever is actually going on with this 'cancel culture'.

she said she wouldn't live in the same building as her son "because of the stench". But unfortunately I don't think she was referring to his excremental views expressed in the Torygraph. Her politics are quite Blue Labour which probably isn't shocking for someone of her age.

she is a Kier stan though and said in an interview that although she liked Corbyn she thought he was unelectable because the British working classes are too conservative to accept someone like him. This was a while back though, and she might have changed her mind about Kier since!

"Why is Dan in a newsagents buying Lynx" you wonder. Therein lies a tale. My mum: "When you're out, get me some cigarettes". Me: "I'm your only child. If I make an extra trip I may catch the virus".

Was Douglas Murray complaining about the forthcoming Holocaust memorial covered anywhere? Not that I’ve seen, so here’s Portes:

so people of the far-right like Murray do admit that Great Britain barely lifted a finger to help European Jewry in the 30's. I often hear centre-right UK politicians of both main parties waxing lyrical about the UK's long history of being a haven for persecuted minorities and then following up with reasons why it shouldn't be!
