Lessons for Australia from USA elections 2020


 






I love the fact that behind every image is both a reality and a fantasy. Where is McLuhan when you need him? to explia the paradoxes before us  
When both USA candidates remind us that we  seem to get the government we deserve.  
When  we see the truth that empty phrases fill the pages., we ought to be praying rather than putting our hopes in polys and political processes.  
I mean somehow some good has come out of it ...so how did that happen? 
Maybe there is a God after all , because the gods before us have feet of clay and voices like yesterdays wind.   
The man whose mouth is an open book coins the truth of "fake" news and we all realize that he /we would rather have someone remove all doubt than have a living voice that repeats only slogans of the past .

When fast news happens
The author WAUGH  ( Scoop) would, I think,  be pleased,  as i am,  to announce a new word to the lexicon -fastidious news  - or fast news
Where the reporter /recorder doesn't even see the news before it runs over him

The GIS group who produced the red blue maps for the USA probably didn't realize they would be proclaiming the truth to us to USA  and the whole wide world  that the city//country . progressives/\/ conservatives divide was so real. The truth jumped out of the box so we could see what others were hiding . The city has the numbers to win,  and if you rely on numbers your team will win. Who cares about fair if you win office  , Is this map above fair and what Federation fathers meant to give us ?   

What Aussies need to realize and left  needs to know is why with 60% of the electorates  it still hasn't got 60 % of the practical people's vote   and is not likely to have if it plays to  talk of god like powers, responsibilities and abilities 
Doesn't bear thinking about what Biden's and the lefts  ( unrepresentative and ineffective ) agendas lie behind the lefts agenda here and there  ,
