Not really, the politicians with a Trumpian style (Johnson and Truss) came after brexit and got there because of the polarisation caused by brexit (and had the example of Trump himself). There was definitely a lot of lying and false claims that were used by the leave campaign in order to get brexit and it shared some similarities with Trump, but it wasnt politics in the the style of being completely divorced from reality and overwhelming incompetance that defines Trump.

In a way.

But there was a lot of lies that represented legitimate concerns and remain didn't really do a good enough job of bringing leave along with them. Pleanty of "we got lied too, no on told us". No no no no. Remain clearly said the truth and you listened to the lies.

Also fish was fucking weird. Seems like people will die over fish.

But people were told immigration would go down. People have been wanting immigration to go down for 60 years and it's never happened. First direct vote about immigration going down is obviously going to be a big factor. Didn't happen though so far right will win soon.

Fair. You have a point.

Though notably Boris didn't get away with everything after the fact. There were penalties for incoherent and inconsistent COVID and his hypocrisy.

Though it does concern me that it's entirely possible that only happened because A) a conservative wrote a report bashing his parties and B) right wing media groups didn't defend Boris

Yes but if you bring up that fact, they can’t act self righteous
