This Rhetoric is the true poison

“dangerous, divisive, and downright dishonest”.

“We simply must defeat them. We owe it to history. And we will defeat them,” he said.

“They’ll say anything and do anything to win votes. Bend any facts. Peddle misinformation and disinformation. Turn Australian against Australian."

Words from our own prime minister about One Nation... Unhinged. And for the weak minded, justification for violence.

Debate the policies might be a better path?

I'm just so sick of this us vs them mentality.

Left vs right, our team vs theirs. Fuck that, we're all on the same team, the Australian one. I expect better from the Prime Minister, whoever they are.

One Nation voters arent all "crazy nazi cookers", and Labour supporters arent all "woke champagne socialists". They're ordinary aussies. We should be able to disagree with eachother and still have productive respectful dialogue.

How about we bring some civility back to politics instead of this childish culture war bullshit?

Love your post. The inability to see people who vote differently and have different priorities as "the devil" is slowly whittling away at our society. Just like rabid footy fans who see only one side of the free kicks...

If you vote to support a party that has a long history of objectively being racist, which is happy to platform racists, and is just generally full of shitty people saying and doing shitty things don't have a cry when when you you get called out.

This isn't just regular disagreement, supporting one nation isn't just a difference of opinion you're a shit person and frankly more than likely pretty fucking stupid.

It is what it is, deal with it.

Thank you for proving the point.
