2025 Federal Election: A Pox o' Both Your Houses

[Not Important]

Channelling that inner Maga hey?

It's a dog whistle. Politicians know exactly what they are doing. Price knew exactly what she was doing.
The fact she then lied to your face should be the thing that upsets you the most.
We spoke about fringe/conspiracy thinking. It's a call to those people. And yet you're up in arms that people have picked her up on it.

And seriously. Why the ** would an Australian politician wear Maga hats and post it to socials? If they want to be part of Maga. Then go the ** over there.

they want to bring it here. there was one captured wearing one in "the age" at a wilson function, sitting next to him. some reactionaries are all over the orange dipstick

 

[kalex6251]

I can't believe this even news (like a lot of things).

No one should GAF, seriously the media ARE chump obsessed, why?Coz it's revenue for them because dumb cucks make such a big deal about it on platforms like this.

Price says maga and wears a maga hat "ooohh scary!!!!" or 'how dare she'

Lol, Whoopdy phuqin do.

what the hell are you on about

the coalition are actively trying to distance themselves from any trump comparison - and have been for some weeks now ..... case in point: littleproud was on the front foot today saying prices comments were a 'slip of the tongue' (if it wasnt an issue or concern - why comment?)

the coalition are making this a story

Where the **** are all these schools/teachers who are apparently teaching cultural Marxism?

One of my best friends is a school teacher. My mother was a school teacher.

Neither of them could even tell you which side of the political spectrum Marx was on. They couldn't tell you his first name.

I guess it's a sign that the campaign is going swimmingly that they can revert to meaningless culture war bullshit?

Oh we all just hide it.
Hiding in plain sight.
We are all Marxists. As soon as we recieve our teaching degrees.


It's the biggest fallacy out there and people fall for it. Bit like cat litter trays.

 

[Carringbush2010]

I'm commenting on the perception of what they're saying in an election campaign, not whether I "GAF".

If you follow Trump and/or want to implement some of his ideas here, go for it - just say it. If you don't, then don't say it.

I don't think that's the main point here mate.

Well this is predictable.

Now I'm maga or have maga tendencies.

I'm just pointing out the over reaction, so yeah I must be maga.

No one should GAF.

So what comes of some nobody wearing maga and saying maga. The impression I get is this.

-30 % of the electorate gets zombified into subservient fashy lovers
-30% don't vote spud head because they're sensible
-The rest donkey vote coz they're too naive and are just sick of the current choices.

Result, spud head gains office and starts doing his fashy thing via executive orders.

Look it's ok to mention it, but some of the over reaction posts are just infantile and emotionally irrational. No need to be so axe grindy.

EFA, Maybe re read the post you replied to again.

I'm not disputing what you've posted here.

I didn't say you were MAGA. WTF are you talking about?

 

[pjcrows]

Mate, your first post used the phrases "dumb cucks" and "Whoopdy phuqin do"

 

[Carringbush2010]

I didn't say you were MAGA. WTF are you talking about?

Apologies If misunderstood, but this sure sounds like you were alluding that I'm a chumper

'If you follow Trump and/or want to implement some of his ideas here, go for it - just say it. If you don't, then don't say it.'

 

[Carringbush2010]

Mate, your first post used the phrases "dumb cucks" and "Whoopdy phuqin do"

Because yes to over react to some lnp nuffy saying and wearing maga is being a dumb cuck, and it should be whoopdy phuqin do.

 

[kalex6251]

EFA, Maybe re read the post you replied to again.

I'm not disputing what you've posted here.

perhaps you are missing the point ..... the story is not the comparison so much as the increasingly awkward and concerned efforts of coalition members [and party officials) to distance themselves from any link

thats the story .... from what i can tell the media are simply pursuing a line of inquiry that coalition members (through idiocy or incompetence) are keeping alive

'If you follow Trump and/or want to implement some of his ideas here, go for it - just say it. If you don't, then don't say it.'

I was talking about Liberal politicians, like Jacinta Price, the person we're talking about.

 

[Saint Shags]

Now I'm maga or have maga tendencies.

Well perhaps instead of calling people dumb cucks. You could have a rational and reasonable discussion.

Like I said, I'm not disputing that.

I'm making another point, I'm sure you'll work it out.

Run for the hills! Armeggedon is coming coz someone said 'make australia great again!', like the electorate is all of a sudden gonna be zombified and turn into maga dick heads.

Fargin Hilarious.

Someone? The person entrusted to lead up the review of Government Efficiency, not too much of a stretch to draw comparisons to Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.

The Libs have spent a couple of months now trying to distance themselves from Trump - both in words and in policy - since it's clear that he is poison in other countries. Just after Dutton has spent significant campaign time hosing down concerns of the more aggressive thought bubbles about gutting the public service and removing flexible work options, we have the Liberal Party's answer to Elon Musk proclaiming that she will "Make Australia Great Again" in about as public a forum as she could.

It's another significant clanger (unless Dutton is going to make another U-turn and goes back to Temu Trump) and a distraction in a campaign which so far has been full of them.

 

[pjcrows]

Are you reading what I'm posting, or are you even following the campaign?

In the context of what the LNP are attempting to distance themselves from (Trump/MAGA), it was a dumb thing to say.

I don't see how that comment has riled you up.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Well perhaps instead of calling people dumb cucks. You could have a rational and reasonable discussion.

You can't have reasonable discussion with people who are emotionally reactive to such a nothing burger.

 

[Carringbush2010]

In the context of what the LNP are attempting to distance themselves from (Trump/MAGA), it was a dumb thing to say.

And where have I disagreed with this?

I don't see how that comment has riled you up.

It hasn't, pointing irrational over reaction is not being riled up.

 

[Saint Shags]

You can't have reasonable discussion with people who are emotionally reactive to such a nothing burger.

We've had reasonable discussions the last few days.

They only emotionally reactionary here has been you. You deliberately come on use terms like cuck, and claim we are clutching our purses and then expect there to be no blow back?

 

[kalex6251]

Like I said, I'm not disputing that.

I'm making another point, I'm sure you'll work it out.

no need to be condescending .... ive read your comment - my response was reasoned, considered and appropriate ... and i stand by it

 

[Gough]

Looking a Trump's America right now do you think people are over overreacting when they see politicians who want to import that here? I think we're rightly revolted.

 

[pjcrows]

And where have I disagreed with this?

You said people who pointed out her comment are "dumb cucks".

It hasn't, pointing irrational over reaction is not being riled up.

Your posts suggest otherwise. It's okay if you're riled up about it, or if it's hitting a nerve.

not least the lnp who are falling over themselves to tell us how revolted they are

I don't see the concern.

Is she gonna get her right wing ideologies through the senate to realization? This ain't chumps america, first the lnp has to gain majority govt. to make it so, highly unlikely, even then we don't wildly irrational dick heads to that level. So her doge wishes just ain't gonna happen.

But the media paints it as Armegeddon, and then the naive and gullible lose their minds and think it's possible.

Then we have the Liberal Party's answer to Elon Musk proclaiming that she will "Make Australia Great Again" in about as public a forum as she could.

Australia's already great, could get better, she'll make it worse, anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows this, so her maga wish ain't gonna happen.

It's another significant clanger (unless Dutton is going to make another U-turn and goes back to Temu Trump) and a distraction in a campaign which so far has been full of them.

Yep, never disagreed wit this.

 

[Carringbush2010]

No, I said people who over react to it are dumb cucks, not people who just mention it. Distinct difference.

My posts are just pointing out that the media beat it up to something it isn't, that doesn't make me riled up, that's just your incorrect assumption.

Yep, never disagreed wit this.

So the main issue you're angry with is that the media has brought "Armageddon" based on her comments?

I saw an article on it yesterday, and a stock TV news report on it. Today it is out of the news.

Armageddon?
