West African immigration patterns in UK show same conservatism and traditionalism as in America—first-generation West African immigrants from Ghana, Nigeria are 'staunchly conservative and very traditional in their ways.' Multi-generational black UK residents are more likely to vote Labour.

At UK royal jubilees, particularly the Queen's jubilee, large numbers of working-class people showed up, including people from Caribbean and West African communities, cheering the monarchy. This was unexpected by 'the great and the good' who thought no one would attend. They nearly didn't hold the jubilee in the 70s due to this expectation.

Traditional newspapers face a fundamental business model problem: their payrolls and structure are designed for a different era. Without sufficient advertising revenue or subscription revenue to cover costs, newspapers will either collapse or require wealthy benefactors to bankroll them for personal or propaganda reasons.

Democrats' approach to Black voters is paternalistic: the Democratic belief that Black people cannot survive without Democratic support, combined with a political understanding of Black Americans that is trapped in the past and doesn't reflect contemporary reality.

There are profound philosophical and value differences between the tech right and the religious right that will play out over time as the initial excitement of the new administration fades and power struggles emerge.

Immigration control was a left-wing issue for decades based on the principle that it harmed working-class lives by creating competition for entry-level jobs, not from hatred of foreigners.

The concern that religious right politicians would use state power to impose their vision on everyone is legitimate, but even among those who want restrictions, there is internal debate about whether this serves the religious cause.

Project 2025 (though Trump distanced himself from it) includes goals to restrict abortion to 3-month terms and eventually 6-week terms through appointees Trump selected who worked on it.

There is now a very significant and powerful non-religious right in the form of tech entrepreneurs/Silicon Valley who are very powerful in the current Trump administration.

The Democratic Party has captured the religious right as a bogeyman through fear, but for a long time it was possible to pretend the religious right wasn't a big deal because Trump wasn't god-fearing, but figures like JD Vance show the religious right does exercise power.
