    Ranga MAGA is the inbred descendant of the bully the world took down 81 years ago, and the true nature of this colony of convicts is about to hand them a stick with a pointy end.

    The meetings and finances of political parties should be embarrassingly transparent. If you want to hold and exert power over those who have not submitted to your ideologies, you don’t get to obscure the machinations of how they’re discussed or deployed.

      She is nothing so complicated. She’s merely a relic of the old white, stupid and racist class that was fairly commonplace 50 years ago.

      She was screaming into the wind about “Asians” before the US president tried his thing as a Democrat 25 years ago (which nobody seems to talk about). She pre dates tea parties and Maga by decades.

            It wasnt the kind of cult it is today, largely because of the changes in technology, but it was still largely the same kind of manipulative and narcissistic bullshit that Trump and his ilk foster today.

            This shot isnt new, its been going on at least sonce Nixon. Heck, America First was a big thing during the thirties and forties.

        I’m well aware of her history, but my post is more about One Nation than the jester who spawned it.

        They’re merely the .au flavour of the authoritarian and fascist weed that cultivates and thrives on division and despondency. ‘Ranga MAGA’ is an alliteration to bind their Orange branding with the Trump movement Hanson is now trying to distance them from.

        It’s largely irrelevant how the pieces fit together, none of their platform is intended to be coherent, nor logically consistent, they just need it to conjure attention.
