u/Grail — Grail (capitalised)

Well, Labour are wrong about thinking voters liked their plan. Voters liked their familiarity. Voters didn't read Labour's plan.

but voters do want someone who’s going to address the bread and butter problems they’re facing.

Nah mate, common myth. The Greens had a way better plan for the bread and butter problems - create a government department for building housing, end negative gearing, cap rent increases, put dental in medicare, build free GP clinics, 50c transport fares, wipe all student debt, 800$ back to school payment, free school lunches, make supermarket price gouging illegal, increase wages.

What voters want, is something comfortable and familiar that makes them feel like they're opposing Trump, without having to actually think or learn anything. They want the status quo.

I hope Labour learns from this and starts leaning hard into the culture war. More trans rights please!

Nobody wants to let Dutton be another Trump

Trump is dismantling the US government so his billionaire friends can buy it. He's not building a global populist movement, he's siezed power and he's using it for petty, selfish ends. The whole world can see it plainly

The rise of fascism in the US may have heralded worldwide rises in conservativism for a time, but now that Trump has absolute power, he's not bothering to hide his intentions. It's swung back the other way, now the US is making the world less fascist

Fascism's win condition is always its own destruction. It's a death cult. It can't win worldwide because it promotes selfish leaders who sabotage the movement for personal enrichment

It's gonna be okay, everyone
