If #Americans miss their #Midterm opportunity to denounce corruption & failure of #TrumpCriminalSyndicate,we can extract safe assumptions. IE. They remained apathetic till final days of the Republic surviving as a functional state worthy of a voice in global affairs. #USA#Auspol
SNL’s “Trump Addresses the U.S. Strikes on Iran” sketch has an interesting story behind it.
The show had already planned a different opening. Then real world events forced a last minute rewrite.
Here’s how the sketch came together, what it was really satirising, and my take.
#Auspol (cont) From the above link re: #RWextremism: “Based on govt and independent analyses, right-wing extremist violence has been responsible for the overwhelming majority of fatalities, amounting to approximately 75% to 80% of U.S. domestic terrorism deaths since 2001.”
#RW of political spectrum,overwhelmingly responsible for confecting hate & rage in public discourse.
Their media, understands hate-for-profit is lucrative & enticing for the lost in search of (faux) community.
Be clear: It isnt an ‘us’ problem. #Auspoltheconversation.com/right-wi…
To mock someone for speaking openly about a medical condition that affects so many Australians is beneath contempt.
Jacqui’s courage gives voice to thousands of women who might otherwise suffer in silence.
Ridiculing her disrespects every one of them.

If they can go lower then they’ll go lower.
This is politics of no consequence.
Today, tomorrow, there will be something else to outrage. This story will be left in its wake. It’s how they win.
