  The UK is awful in ways that the Americans can only aspire to

  Which ones are those? I struggle to come up with something that US is doing better than the UK. The whole freedom of speech issue might be the one where at least it’s not that obvious, but I would argue UK is just more upfront about it, and even though more topics are explicitly forbidden in the UK, you wouldn’t be dissapeared from the streets by an unmarked van about it, so I would say it’s still better.

    You clearly haven’t been paying attention. Both have a ton of issues. You could argue either is worse, but I don’t think anyone watching would say they aren’t on similar paths. The UK in particular has a lot of holdover issues from never fully reforming their government and only slowly transforming from monarchy to constitutional Republic, and still carrying all the baggage, like the house of lords for example.

    Cope harder. UK is in the fast lane to authoritarianism alongside the US.
