I really really hope that Australia has the good sense to stay the gently caress out of whatever shitstorm Trump causes first.

Keep our head down and maybe we can weather the storm.

Hopefully what passes for the left will realise that if you abandon socialism, even the weakest form of American socialism, this is what you end up with. Time for Labor to start pushing for better welfare.

The one day where I will grudgingly tolerate an article about "Don't get so worked up about racism/backwardness/bigotry in Australia, compared to the rest of the world we are great :smug:"

like thank god the one nation vote is only 10% or whatever it is

It's going to take some time for all of this to properly sink in, I'm very unsure of what is to come. In both the immediate future and months to come, I just do not know what to expect in international and Australian affairs.

poo poo is hosed, that's for sure.

I'm glad the labour party hasn't abandoned it's support base like the democrats. They deserve to take this L. I think Australia will fair well from this, we look like a stable investment again.

not so much, a trade war with China is high on Trump's agenda and that affects us a great deal given 30% of our poo poo gets sold to them to make poo poo for the US

Y'know, between this and Brexit blowing up in the face of the established powers I'm almost beginning to think a volatile game of brinkmanship with petulant bigots is not the most stable foundation for a system of government.

Ignore my posts!
I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
For what it's worth, it really is too close to call in the American election right now, and while it seems fairly likely Trump won there's probably going to be a big change to some things in prepoll and postal votes that could well shift the entire thing from the initial night's results.

Which sounds familiar somehow.

Sounds reeeeeaaal optimistic, but that would be an insanely fun and chaotic outcome.
