He's gone full god-botherer and full-MAGA, telling everyone to vote for Trump "to defend democracy" and "invoking the name of our lord".

The grift is enormous with him end even though he says the right thing here I really don't give a flying one what particular stance he has modelled out to be the most profitable with his audience this week.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

I'm afraid I agree. I used to like Russel a lot but it seems he's gone all in on making himself appeal to the US right. Where they happen to be right on issues (even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day) he is OK but where morality and sanity part ways from the US right he sticks with Trump, as seen so clearly on Gaza, where he's been almost silent. References to God aren't a problem for me, Malcolm X did it all the time. It's just that I fear his references are again a pitch for the evangelical, zionust right.

That's a clearer way of saying what I was thinking

With Malcolm you knew it (religious speech) was a product of faith rather than a calculated tactic.
