“There’s a reason people are voting for Trump. Those who sneer at them are missing the larger picture.”
No. Nope. Don’t do this. Don’t go down this road. DON’T DO IT. **DON’T DO IT!**

One Nation polls best with older Australians and people who live in rural areas, the people least impacted by immigration and high housing costs so much of it is just plain bigotry.

Paywall. I assume the reason is “they’re fucking morons”? Like sure they have other reasons but you’d have to be a fucking moron to look at how other right-wing populists are doing around the world right now and decide you’d like some of that

Another time in a developed country, another time people blaming immigrants for everything, it’s just so tired sometimes to see it happens again and again and the results are the exact same.

lol its so weird to me that even Australians are now seemingly falling into this trap of voting for far right lunatics. Coz I gotta be honest, Australia looks like paradise compared to Europe right now. Healthy demographics, a great economy, lots of natural resources, its far away from any wars and conflicts, solved its refugee problem, lots of space, great weather etc.
Like what problems is your nation facing that are causing a large portion of your population to vote for these people?

I assume it’s because there are dumbfuck racist shitheels in every country and those people are going to vote for the local dumbfuck racist shitheel party.
Sorry, but I’m sick of making excuses for dumbfuck racist shitheels. These are bad people and they should be told they’re bad, if not altogether socially ostracized.
