 That line all the Trump cultists hit out with when people slate Trump. Trump derangement syndrome apparently.

			Deltapoll asked UK adults who they would vote for if they had a vote in the US election.  The headline result is Harris 52%, Trump 26%, Don’t Know 22%.  However, break it down by British voters’ support for British parties and it’s … revealing. 
Labour:  Harris 64 v 20 Trump 
Tory:  Harris 57 v 23 Trump 
Lib Dem:  Harris 74 v 16 Trump 
Reform: Harris 26 v  58 Trump.

 It is…….it shows that the Tory party and Tory voters aren’t really to the right any more.
 
It confirms that Labour/conservative are an interchangeable uni-party, that do not represent the working class and gleefully ignore them……..pushing them to look for an alternative.
 
Not weird, actually quite obvious.

 I think perhaps you don’t understand American politics.  Both the Democrats and the Republicans are right wing when calibrated against social and economic norms of British politics.  Trump, however, is an extremist, to the point where plenty of card-carrying republicans who served under him in his 2016-2020 administration, are refusing to endorse him.  Some of them have endorsed Kamala Harris.
 
You might expect Tory supporters to be sympathetic to the party of Ronald Reagan in normal times.  Trump is not normal times.  Apparently Reform UK supporters are the only ones who don’t see that in significant numbers.

 I'm pleased to see that Tory voters have seen through Trump. Surprised that LibDem voters favour Harris more than Labour supporters do. Not really surprised by the Reform figures.

 Oh, I think I have a decent grasp of modern American politics, I’ll give you Democrats may show up on the right economically, and perhaps some older boomers Socially, but I would argue that Dems now peg further left socially in some areas than we do.

 The fact that half the country voted for him in 2016,  and again in 2020, and will no doubt do so again in a few months……….would suggest that Trump is indeed “normal times”

 Maybe it suggests they would have won the popular vote by a landside if Don Old wasn't the candidate, the fact they didn't probably means he's Done this time too
