Editorial – Optics vs reform

One of the more hyped elements of last week’s federal budget was a $300 handout to every homeowner to alleviate the increase in energy costs.
The cycle of history moves on. Just as centuries ago when the Vandals destroyed the magnificent Roman Empire, their turn has come again.
Statistically, Tuesday 8 November, the USA proved they have  a population of morons similar to the 52 per cent vandals in the UK on Brexit day 23 June.

Just like the Brexiters now the Trumpers will destroy the unity of peoples. Sadly the joint effort of nations to solve global warming and many other woes is going to be set back at least a decade.
Like the Brexiters, the Trumpers only know how to wreck.
These uneducated, vandalising, ignorant dullards haven’t a single thought or policy which could replace or improve on what they have ruined, just like their mentors Trump and Farage whose ideas and lies will actually produce zero improvement for the poor, unthinking masses who supported them.
Worry and be afraid. Very afraid.

  1. Ron, there are many reasons why people voted for Trump, a main one of them is as a reaction against the very elitist attitudes towards his supporters that you have expressed.

  2. I would add too that the Democrats acted like morons themselves by getting lost in their own rhetoric about “The first female President” and therefore proceeded to nominate the most disliked, distrusted and ultimately unelectable candidate they’ve ever had. Probably should have stuck with Bernie!

  3. Ron, you are now seeing who the true ‘Deplorable’s’ are……….as is the whole world. Increasingly obvious that they are from the brainwashed Left. Peace Larry
