It's only ever been a cultural myth. Kind of like how we're all invested in bush stockmen despite being one of the most urbanised populations in the world all the way back to the start of European settlement.

Sure. They're taking 30 days to purge anything related to "current cases" though. So, business as usual me thinks?

I remember the good old days when you could sexually assault children and it was nearly the entire reason for MAGA existing.

Because the Liberals would never have been in government without their help for most of the last few decades, and have even less hope in the future.

Also, because over half of the Liberal Party agree with them and use the Nats as cover to pretend that Liberal 'moderates' still exist.

It's not a consistent philosophy, obviously. It's a philosophy based on what scares upper middle class GenXers enough to make its way onto the front page of the Murdoch press for clicks philosophy. Youth of today, and all that. 😠

It always feels like a media beat up, but after decades of watching this stuff it's almost always the last gasp of a dying administration.

I don't know if it's the media just pulling on threads, or the momentum was already unstoppable, but either way at this point Starmer is a dead PM walking.

I think, maybe, that a better term might be the Sociopath and Psychopath wings of the party.

A lot of people have observed that the Democrats’ deep unpopularity comes from the fact that absolutely everyone wants to complain about them and nobody wants to defend them.

This is true, but a lot of THAT dynamic comes from the fact that Dems are regularly punching their supporters in the face!

There are moderates left in the Liberal Party? Who'd ever have imagined?

Naked racism and hatred in this case means anti-genocide protests.

Many decisions will take decades to reverse, if ever. Republicans are happy to keep breaking things, even if some of it ends up not sticking. Sowing increasing disenchantment with government is enough. Government incompetence is just more evidence to support people's existing prejudices.
