Rival Idiots [against Jerks] [revised version]
In the political arena, leaders and personalities often face strong opinions and descriptive labels. Here's a snapshot of some contemporary figures and the ways they have been characterised.
Vladimir Putin, the Russian President, is known for his aggressive stance and controversial decisions. He is described as a "bullying, bullshitting, bare-chested bastard"; a "bloodthirsty butcher", a "swaggering war criminal", an "imperial kleptocrat", and a "Kremlin Knt". His KGB background has also been a topic of discussion, with the saying, "You can take the sshole out of the KGB, but you can't take the KGB out of the *sshole".
Across the English Channel, Boris Johnson, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, is known as "Thesaurus Rex", a hard-partying, pseudo-Churchillian, truth-bending, cakeist clusterf*ckwit.
On the other side of the Atlantic, Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, is referred to as the "American bald ego"; a changeable, orange, rabidly right-wing individual with a label of a "clusterf*ckwit". He has been accused of election-tampering and Putin-pandering.
In France, Emmanuel Macron is characterised as a Brussels-cheerleading, Marine Le Pen-baiting, Trump-whispering individual. He has also been called a "faux Napoleon" and a "sh*t-hole". On January 1, 2023, Élisabeth Borne took over as the Prime Minister (government chief) of France.
Nigel Farage, a prominent figure in British politics, is an EU-bashing, migrant-hating, mob-mobilising individual. He is often compared to mini-Trump and is recognized as a divisive demagogue, power-hungry populist, and a downright *sshole.
Angela Rayner, a British Labour Party politician, is a flame-haired Fabian with a history of dodging stamp duty. Sir Keir Starmer, the current Labour Party leader, is a left-ish, lawyerly individual with the label of a clusterf*ckwit.
Lastly, Xi Jinping, the Chinese President, is labeled as a Hong Kong-harrowing, Taiwan-threatening, Moscow-loving Maoist "sht-hole". J. D. Vance, an American author and political commentator, is labeled as a "sht-hole in waiting".
These descriptions offer a glimpse into the public's perception of these figures, but it's important to remember that these labels may not fully encapsulate the complexities of their personalities and political actions.
