waitingmanThese are the kind of supporters Trump is getting... & somehow seems okay with it
Right wing, racist nutjobs who believe John F. Kennedy Jr. faked his own death to support their cause & their new leader...
The trouble with this is - being the USA, there's enough of them to be a real force. And, being the USA, they're likely well-armed. I'm not saying Australia doesn't have its share of disaffected FITH Syndrome outpatients, but with our smaller population (and better gun laws!!), they're much more invisible & manageable... & their votes wouldn't count for much at election time. That's at least one good thing about the Westminster system
There are political analysts who are very worried about what will happen if Trump is returned for another term later this year. There are political & social analysts who are more worried about what will happen if he loses... I'm with them...

circuseselections... Vivid memories of Mitt Romney lawn placards in small-town Wisconsin & of being one day ahead of the Hilary & Donald Travelling Debate Show in a couple of states, last time 'roundNo... this time around, I'm relying on our American friends (yes, you two... & Van, if he's reading) for bemused, cynical & slightly worried commentary on the proceedings. If it all goes to hell, one way or another, you're all welcome here. Well gladly sponsor your residency, or just help you hide from Immigration, if you decide to over-stay your visas...
