All that's bad, but it can never be as bad as Bob is at his day job.
He is absolutely useless at representing the people in his electorate.
...All hat and no cowboy.

Jen has a blip theory?

... what is a blip theory Jen?

The post WWII years showed us what could be done
If we don't do that again (minus the racism and misogyny), yes we are headed for illiberal, authoritarian rule
Neo-liberal market based systems don't work and governments have to get back to doing their job
...Making decisions and allocating resources

*** Minus the racism and misogyny, of course. ***

I think the whole world is dissatisfied with bau.
Neo-liberalism has clearly had its day.
However, the alternative cannot be fascism.
The piece you posted frames the problem as old style deep state V new strong man leadership.
I think the alternative is 1940's 60's style democratic socialism.

There is nothing clear-eyed about that piece.
The framing of the tensions between Trump et al, and Europe as some kind of battle between strong leadership and old world, deep state bureaucracy is complete bollocks.
It's an appeal to fascism as an alternative to neo-liberalism.
Neither good options.

And who would be stupid enough to believe any deal
offered by Trump?

Well apart from Australia, obvs

It is so much more than a step back in time.
This will help unlock the very worst of toxic masculinity and racism.
Makes me feel ill.

Race is a construct, and it is never acceptable.
I think it is a construct that is always used to divide people... and it's always cruel.
I think we should judge people who are racist or flirt with racism because they are evil, cruel people.
I also think there is only one race, the human race.

I reckon they are getting little warm tingles in their mean bits.
Aww, just look at them together.

The thing is, the LNP wants this fight
They want race to be an issue because they know there are enough racists in the population to make a difference.
They also need to be a little unclear about their racism.
Norms be like, "Did they really mean that?"
Racists be like, "That's what I'm saying!"

I don't see a change of heart. I see a twisted and sickening false equivalent designed to distort the truth and stoke division.
Greens are a bit annoying, nazis vote LNP.

All that money, and arse kissing, I wonder if he has been promoted up from being "that red-haired weirdo from Australia"
...Probably not.

Gina is in though, definitely Donald's type, ...and he just loves the ladies. ❤️

This makes my blood boil. There is very, very little that makes me as mad as the supine weakness of politicians in this country when it comes to 'gas shortage'. This is state capture. Pure and simple. Another gift left by John 'children overboard' Howard #auspol
