Honestly, I wish more Aussies would learn about what's happening in America, then maybe one nation wouldn't be surging in the polls right now.

Can relate.

I feel like one of these panels should say, "I find out how much the US impacts Aussie lives & politics".

There are a lot of Americans who are learning American politics against their will at the moment too(their ignorance seems willful and self-imposed in many instances); hopefully enough of them to not support the insanity in the future.

• "But Trump said he would help union jobs"

• "But they were just supposed to go after the bad minorities, not my group"

• "But tarrifs don't raise prices for Americans, they promised"

• "But why can we pay $50k sign on bonuses for ICE but not fund education or healthcare?"

• "But that's against the law, I thought they supported the 2nd amendment?"

• "But they're being violent toward white people too, I thought my group was safe"

• "But they said they hated paedophiles and wanted to punish them and that they would release the Epstein files"

• "But Trump said he would end the Ukraine war in 24 hours"

• "Why can't I get vaccinated and get my kid vaccinated in some states?"

• "But they defunded my X when they said they were only going to defund Y"

• "But that hurts my business, I bought their line that..."

• "Well I thought they were just going to take away abortions from and track poor, minority group women from having abortions, my case is different"

• "Why is my USD currency value crashing? Why are the trump coin crypto I bought not able to be sold, Trump has discretion on the lockup period and gets to decide who sells and when?

• "Why do billionaires seem to be doing really well and at lots of events with the administration and everyone else doesn't seem very happy?

• But laws shouldn't be used only against certain people, don't they apply to everyone in a system where money equals power?

All politics is learned against our will. Nobody likes this shit but we have to do it because there’s too damn many of us.

We gotta learn what we can now, so we can prevent the 5th Reich later.

You're basically learning from an example.on how NOT to do it, but I don't see Australia doing that much better, does it?

Hey, look, it's an island strategically placed against China that has oil and mineral resources

Stupid Americans post so damn much about themselves and their country. I bet they don't know anything about Australian politics.

Violent, dangerous empires will always teach you their politics against your will. It doesn’t matter who or where you are.

No need to be sorry; lots of Americans are doing the same thing, these days.

I just hope there would be snooze until elections -button

I wouldn't say it's against my will. I willingly read it, but it's more out of morbid curiosity. The more you look, the more you realise it's not just stupidity; it's fundamental, generational, institutionalised stupidity that was there pretty much from the start. It's fascinating in a multi-car pile-up kind of way.

Australian politics is so dull in comparison, which is much more preferable to actually live with.
