Trump is just a cartoonish symptom of decades neo-liberal policies and the rising influence of the hate filled Murdoch media, amongst other things. He was too dumb to introduce anything himself. Ditto a reason there is a lot of angst in Melbourne is also due the the hostility of the Murdoch press stoking civil disobedience.
But the important point was this thread was much better when it wasn't full of politics (even though I tend to agree with you mostly). Can you start a new thread for it please.
