Exactly. America is becoming a fascist country right now in front of the world's eyes and unless Americans do something and do something quickly to stop this such as mass protests, nobody giving in to his corrupt and unlawful actions - this will be so hard to reverse. The media also needs to step up massively. Trump is trying to threaten and silence the media and it is a MUST that they call him out. Instead, seeing so much talk of Joe Biden INSTEAD of reporting the destruction of the constitution, ignoring long held laws, intimidation of anyone that does not agree with Trump, his love of evil dictator leaders and hatred of democratic allies and obvious bribery is shameful. Jake Tapper especially is a disgrace. Spending all this time taking of Biden and promoting his book INSTEAD of calling out the incredibly real danger facing all Americans right now.

Admire him so much

Bruce Springsteen - telling it like it is. Trump has already done a childish crazy tweet about Bruce.

Agree 100 % Now Murdoch has sold Foxtel, I am hoping too the Sky News can go back to what is was 20 years ago which was a great news service. The Australian newspaper is nothing more than far right propaganda now. It always has been conservative but used to be a quality newspaper. Has not been that way for years now. Young people reject Murdoch and Trump like candidates though. That is so obvious now. If the Liberal party don't see the writing on the wall and keep going down the far right path, they will become obsolete. It is wrong that they are called the Liberal party as they are anything but Liberal. We will see if they try and learn from this election and start turning their back on right wing ideology and dog whistling the bigots etc.

I see some glimmer of hope for the world Kurt. The complete and utter rejection of all Trump like candidates in every single state of Australia was so relieving and a lot of people are feeling emotional about it. Considering a lot of our press ( ghastly Murdoch who has his tentacles everywhere ) was pushing for the Trump style candidates, was fantastic to see Australians come out in force against it. We also have compulsory voting here which means people have to turn up to the polls - even if they only mark the names off and do a donkey vote ! - but it keeps everyone informed and engaged. They can also do postal votes as well. I wish they had compulsory voting in the USA as I think there would of easily been a different result. People get too complacent or can't be bothered on the day etc when voting is not compulsory. Also, most of our voters were under the age of 50 and it has been proven they are less conservative than older voters and don't fall for the right wing garbage that the media serves up. Women in Australia also can't stand Trump or Trump like policies and that is another issue. I am watching a lot of American news shows and the difference between Fox and the others is staggering. Murdoch and Fox network has done this in my opinion. They admitted in court to lying about the so called stolen election but the worst part of the settlement did not require them to play that on the Fox network. I will be very interested to see how the Mid terms elections go in the USA and am hoping that the American people will stand up against Fascism.

Another fantastic thing is the Labor party won easily in every single state of Australia. It was an absolute thrashing of the right wing parties. Feel so relieved and proud of Australian voters.

I tagged our international members previously but interested also in the thoughts of our Australian members @San @Bitch I'm Christian @swimtoshore @Creepy Insane Person @Bretticus @Michael. @cardiganstarlet@Paul @xtaticboy82

@runa @Raider of the lost Ark @VogueMusic @Ciccone's Cheeks @ULIZOS @Kim @SOON @svperstar @MadFan @acko @promise to try @Cyber-Raga @Sanctuary1995 @VictorMarques @elijah @KalamazooJay @IsaacHarris @Martin B. @Genevieve Vavance @Nikki @Lolo @Kurt420 I know you all hate Trump and the right wing conservatives worldwide from the politics threads so bringing some good news about Australia completely rejecting the right wing parties - some who were using Trump's playbook tactics. First Canada and now Australia in the last couple of weeks. Some good news

I feel exactly the same Leebf. Lovely to see you on the forum again too. xxxx

YES ! Australia has voted Labor in easily again. Our right wing conservative opposition leader Peter Dutton has even lost his seat. So proud of Australia tonight. People also saying a major turn off is the fact that Dutton and many of his right wing cabinet were on the record of being Trump Supporters and Australians detest Trump. Not the only reason of course but so glad that Australia has not gone down the right wing fascism way and in fact has rejected it entirely.

Surely the American public don’t believe all of these lies. Absolutely pathetic, untrue, crazy propaganda that any half witted person could easily see through. The GOP politicians should hang their heads in shame.

Well done Canada

Trump is so far up Putin's backside, that he will support him over a democratic country like Ukraine who is supposed to be one of America's allies . Trump is sickening beyond words and as everyone knows and keeps saying, Russia invaded Ukraine. How the American public can put up with having a president siding with Russia over democratic allies is shocking.

Yes. She was often posting about her support for Trump. Stupid, vicious and idiotic woman. Too late for crocodile tears now

So dreadful and heartbreaking
