We're much more connected to the US than RU and even CN.
We have US "talking heads" here from the US as well. Alas, all propaganda has some effect.

I transitioned over 15 years ago and had no issue. I fit into society perfectly well.... until trump. That's where I lay the majority of the blame. I had ONE transphobe in some 14 years. Now my life is at risk.

Of course certain politicians here are reading from his playbook and we have certain groups here that are US RWNJ's.

Oh yeah, agre on this too. We are deffo more influenced by the US. I just wanted to make a point that Russian bots have added fuel to the flame the US started.

It’s fucking disgusting how many human rights they are rolling back, for women, lgbtqa+, PoCs. Anyone who isn’t a white fundie Christian supporting project 25 is at risk there, and therefore so are we.

Trump, his administration, they want Israel and Palestine to go off properly, to fufill the end days prophecies (which is fucked, revelations was a political piece about how Nero (iirc) was a shithead and would fuck society up, it wasn’t an actual prophecy, it was allegory and metaphor).

I’m sorry things are getting harder for you, I loathe how much of that hateful far right rhetoric affects and kills our own fellow Australians. It’s a fucked up situation

  @StudChud I hope it changes very quickly as the US changes.
  RU is even paying bots in the US, they just don't know who employs them.
  People are worried SSM maybe even be rolled back.
  I have seen people are getting their ID's updated, getting married and there's even a "railroad" of volunteers out of the US into Canada now.
  Thank you for your kind words.
  It really does suck, more for those in the US and I hope people come to their senses before it's too late.

    I don't know how much of what they plan will pass.
    Even if they just neuter the agencies they want to remove it will take a generation to recover and repair the damage.
    We need to get away from the US and realise our position in our Australasian neighborhood.
    We're going to have to re-negotiate trade deals but it's something that's possible. Hopefully our bottom line doesn't hurt too much.
    I dread to think what is going to happen in the Middle East. It won't stop with occupation.
