Democracy and Freedom, two cornerstones of the United States, now just a distant memory. For the latter half of the last century it was mostly an illusion anyway! What I like about Australia (what little there is left) is that largely through incompetence and idiocy in Government we have remained relatively freer than the US! Including myself we are always quick to scream conspiracy but reality is we've just got total effwits "in charge" of our destiny! This is a good thing in that largely dysfunctional Governments run by idiots means there are less laws passed to further enslave us, while the idiots in Parliament are fighting with each other we are spared their ravages!

The US isn't really democratic though. Without preferential voting, only votes for Dem/Rep count.

The reason we have idiots in parliament, like that moron Lambie, is because most voters have an IQ firmly stuck in the double digit range. I don't agree with my brother very often, but he is right about the pandemic of stupid being in full swing. Latest example being the fake media telling us SA is in total lockdown. No it isn't. Really? So all cops, ambos, firies, military, hospital staff, truckies, shop assistants, power workers, motel staff, couriers, postal staff, dock workers etc etc all locked in their homes? Total bull$hit.

**** Interesting note.... To me at least..
A number of years ago, I read a thing saying there are two core groups in the US.. The Skull and Cross Bone, and the Bilderberg...
Both started sometime in the 1890s or so times by names like Rockefeller, Westinghouse, DuPont, and a number of others.. And with ties even from way back then to Harvard, Yale, and other ivy league schools of the time and still today.. The thought being, today those same chairs are filled by the CEOs and such of what these original people started back when..
So, for instance, at the time.. When Hillary and Obama were competing for the democrat party candidate for president, (2006-2007?) they both ended up in Chicago to campaign.. They both disappeared for a good half day and the press and all wondering where are they..?? It was said they were meeting with the Bilderberg group because 5 minutes after they reappear, Hillary drops out in favor of Obama.. Likely 495 out of 500 Fortune 500 companies are small change to many who fill the chairs of both these groups..
So.... Many believe the implication is, that is where the money and real power is..

I would say that is probably a pretty reasonable assumption.

What happened to #Notmypresident? It worked when Trumpie won.
