Hey Americans: Melanie Phillips loves America more than you

Melanie Phillips, sage

Oh, now you've gone and done it, communists: you've made Melanie Phillips cross:

What this election tells us is that America voted for change because America is in the process of changing – not just demographically by becoming less white and more diverse, but as the result of a culture war in which western civilisation is losing out to a far-left agenda which has become mainstream, teaching American children to despise the founding values of their country and hijacking discourse by the minority power-grab of victim-culture... Millions of Americans remain lion-hearted, decent, rational and sturdy. They find themselves today abandoned, horrified, deeply apprehensive for the future of their country and the free world. No longer the land of the free and the home of the brave; they must now look elsewhere.

Phillips apparently thinks 52% of the popular vote represents a "minority power-grab". Such is the decline of the British education system. [Spectator]
