Itβs apparently going to weaken the Australian economy too? Which is fun.
I want to rage and call Americans stupid, and to be fair a lot of them did buy in to the hate and spin.
But I think there was also a lot of gerrymandering and ratfuckery at play. And apparently voting in America works differently to Australia. Canβt imagine being a minority in America right now.
I really hope this doesnβt hasten the Americanisation of Australia or import more crazy bullshit
I don't think so. The working class here are more compliant and don't think in terms of rights like Americans do. Thus Australians have fewer resentments and less anger than Americans. They don't need to bring in full strength fascism here to crush the working class and labour movement.
It will be more like English class oppression.
