US Senate staffer on where Liberal Party could be headed
I am an American who spent time in the US political system during the rise of Donald Trump. I have been living in Australia for more than a year. Considering the media empire of Murdoch, I have some information about what can follow the collapse of LNP after closely following the American rights and structural incentives for years.
The Republican Party was equivalent to the deletion of the LNP, the next steps would be clear: your hatred double, take the moderate, do everything to embarrass the other side, finally win, and then destroy as much as possible in power.
I find it strange that a similar way for LNP is not yet clear. I suspect that Clive Palmer’s disappearance in the election has contributed to confusion as to whether the problem is very fascist or that it is not fascist enough.
In both cases, the mobilization of Australian fascists in March for Australia does not go. Both major parties did not support the rallies – this would not be the case in today’s United States. However, it is worth remembering that it would probably be in late 2015. Even in 2017, after the famous Charlottesville rally, many best republican in our congress rally condemnedHowever, the support of the president on him and the media attack pushed the party to embrace fascism clearly.
The political system will not be able to ignore that this base energy from the right has deep fascist elements. The hikers in these rallies are animated voters who can come together with the full support of various media organizations. A politician who wanted to get a right-wing vote would at least be a fool not to be a dog-nasty.
And many Australians told me that universal voting protects their countries from similar fascism as in the US, and I am dismissed from me. There are many Americans who vote for the GOP and who do not personally describe it as a fascist, but believe that Republicans are afraid that they will do once in power. Moreover, before the 2016 elections, many American political science literature pointed out the characteristics of the American system. Be too extreme. That was more accurate.
Most of the current political positions of Australia remind me where the US is in 2012-confused about the next steps until the right party (then Republicans one Autopsy of this election As a result, they must be moderate). In four years, this aimlessness has become a staging area for the most shocking presidential grape in American history.
The last remarkable part is likely to use their important powers and resources to influence Australian politics in a more fascist direction due to the political earthquake in the United States. This should not come as a surprise. ELON became Musk repeatedly Forcing for civil war in the UK, extreme right Rally at the beginning of this month. He turned to violence. JD Vance, Vice President of the United States, Very in Germany.
Ultimately, if a democratic society tolerates fascism – antithesis of democracy – tolerates, it leaves great openings to be destroyed by fascism. The situation is not as bad as the United States, but I see parallels about where Australia can go in this frightening period in global politics.
