We have a PM rushing to an election by destroying 2 years of hard Covid work. And a NSW Premier who gets wide applause for leading a government with such entrenched corruption that ICAC wouldn’t have know where to start. Both are very popular. Trump was and is very popular and was corrupt. Do people not see we’re no different to Trump supporters now? If breaking the law and infecting hundreds of thousands of children with a deadly virus now wins elections, what have we become? We’re hypnotised by meaningless, feel-good political slogans. Too lazy to actually look at the specific issues, voting for people who make us feel good. It’s high school all over again, we never left. Popularity wins. Nothing is emptier or more dangerous than popularity.
