Kimmel Warns British Audience That “Tyranny Is Booming” in the United States

During a special broadcast arranged by a U.K. television network as an “alternative” to the traditional royal speech, comedian and talk‑show host Jimmy Kimmel delivered a stark warning about the state of American politics. He claimed that the past year has been “remarkable” for the United States from a fascism perspective, suggesting a noticeable rise in authoritarian attitudes and rhetoric.

Kimmel’s remarks came amid growing concerns worldwide about democratic backsliding, election‑integrity debates, and the increasing polarization of public discourse. While his tone was deliberately provocative, the host emphasized that the trends he described are not merely rhetorical – they are reflected in policy proposals, media narratives, and the actions of certain political figures.

He concluded by urging viewers on both sides of the Atlantic to remain vigilant, to protect civil liberties, and to hold their leaders accountable before “the tide of tyranny becomes unstoppable.”
