I’ve watched the US Clownshow since 2016.
I’m not sure when exactly it jumped the shark, but it was a very long time ago. Recent episodes have become so bizarre that the the sharks are doing the jumping.
In fact, so grotesquely weird that I’ve been thinking:
We Australians have to reject any attempts to franchise this s#*tshow here.
The danger for us is that we do have the odd Loomer, some Vances and we did have a Cruz, but we ousted him. We have some elected politicians who you could argue are even weirder than the American cohort, but we’re lucky that our media is not afraid to expose fabulists, extremists and lunatics; and our election system calls on all Australians to make sane choices or live with the consequences.
Compulsory voting and a moderate majority voice protects us to a large extent.
We have to be vigilant to stay that way. What happens in America directly affects us.
If the US 2024 election race wasn’t so serious it would be utterly hilarious. And BTW, candidate Trump, we are laughing at you—every day in fact, louder and louder.
