This is why it is an individual’s responsibility to be critical of their own and others’ motivations, to attempt awareness of manipulations by others and our own self-deceptions.
Even the best of my countrymen are not good at any of these things, but people that do not even make the attempt certainly seem to skew toward MAGA.

Zippygutterslug@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Peter Dutton to leave Coalition leaderless, conceding he has lost his seat of DicksonEnglish2·2 months agoThank you so much for your time! Being an American there is a real dearth of information about the politics of other countries, at least in terms of what is “fed” to me via social media and legacy news.
I really wish my country could have learned some lessons from your guys’ election system, it seems much better tuned in terms of producing democratic results and avoiding polarization.

Zippygutterslug@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Peter Dutton to leave Coalition leaderless, conceding he has lost his seat of DicksonEnglish2·2 months agoI’m not steeped in Australian politics like I am in US politics, please correct me if I am wrong, but there are some things I’ve heard (though they may be out of date) that work in the left/center’s favor more than the right, particularly that young Australian men do not seem to be pulling hard right like their US counterparts. Also, it is my understanding that “minor” political parties are more popular and feasible than in the US. Probably the biggest thing working against radicalization is ranked choice voting, it probably splits right more than the left. However, your right wing parties risk losing their identity if they move left and will have to be very competitive as moderates, where they could probably secure a much more ideologically “pure,” resilient, and loyal base by going further right.
Famously, the wealthy often pay no taxes. That is literally tax evasion, but legally acceptable.
