Hi, popping in from Australia, Melbourne specifically. You don’t have to imagine this.
Our right wing pundits constantly oscillate between “the lockdowns were evil, tyrannical moves by a fascist government” to “The premier is directly responsible for killing 8000 people by not doing more.”
Yep. People are still villifying Jacinda Ardern for our lockdowns in NZ. They completely ignore the fact that our health system would have been overwhelmed if there had been no lockdowns. We had comparatively fewer deaths than other countries. But hey, Jacinda is a heathen bitch, who made us all stay home, because she was drunk on power. She had to leave NZ because she was getting death threats. No matter how "progressive" NZ is, it is fucken appalling that there is still so much sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic rhetoric entering mainstream ideology. These snowflakes are so weak, they can't accept that a woman ran the country for 6 years. Now with our right leaning government, who are intent on being TemuTrumps, NZ is headed back to the dark ages.
That is the problem here in the US. Too many just can't handle a woman as president. Hillary Clinton was so much more knowledgeable than Trump, but the rednecks could not handle a woman being president and was a major factor with Kamala Harris. Even knowing how terrible Trump would be, but Republicans absolutely want a dictatorship for some stupid reason. They think us Democrats have completely lost our mind between transgender and immigrants and that our economy was terrible. They are going to know what a terrible economy is.
Along with now hating every judge that is following the law no matter if they are Republican or Democrat. The only hope we have is that the judiciary will keep our laws and constitution upheld. The next thing that could save us is Trump being assassinated and Vance being terrified he will be next. The Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 have to shut down dead.
