This war in Iran shows no signs of being even remotely popular. A British YouGov poll this week had 49% opposing the US’s action and just 28% in support. Half also opposed the decision to let the US use British bases. The US is even less enthusiastic. Just one in four Americans back Trump’s bombing campaign. Many of his usual cheerleaders have parted company with him, notably his greatest fan, Tucker Carlson, who accuses him of being in Benjamin Netanyahu’s pocket. When Trump shouts “Maga is me. Maga loves everything I do, and I love everything I do, too,” his supporters cringe. This is dangerous narcissistic disorder. Even such arch-influencers on the far right as Nick Fuentes, in his 2 March podcast, declared “something has gone horribly wrong”. Are Badenoch and Reform’s Nigel Farage really to the right of Fuentes and Carlson?
