"This vision of an ethnically cleansed, white US is being enacted in policy."

Meanwhile, the Albanese govt deepens its 'alliance' with this white supremacist, fascist regime.
And refuses to explain to the Australian people how this is in our interests. #EthnicCleansing #auspol

If you defend Stephen & Jo Silvagni for using their wealth to suppress the naming of their son #TomSilvagni after he was charged with rape AND who are STILL claiming he's innocent after he's been convicted, DON'T FOLLOW ME. Stop defending parents who protect their rapist sons! 🤬 #justice

The ALP need to realise they will be criticised whatever they do, so how about do things that are good? And do things to please those who voted for you not those who never will.
The AFR run a 2 year campaign to get the ALP to weaken the changes to super tax concessions to make it easier to avoid paying the tax.

The ALP does it.

The AFR criticises the ALP for weakening the policy because people can avoid paying the tax.

I get the impression that Americans believe they can just elect a president who is a tad less crazy than this one and everyone will be friends with the US again. I don´t think that will happen. The US will not recover from this anytime soon. A fair share of Europeans see you as enemies now.
