As I intentionally filter out as much US politics as I can, this has come out of nowhere for me.
Australia has a couple of really simple things baked into its electoral system to resist something wildly unpopular like this from getting in power:
- Compulsory voting. These MAGA crazies are not and will never be the majority. If everyone had to vote, they’d never get in.
- Proportional voting. We vote for multiple candidates. If our first choice doesn’t get in, our vote goes to our second choice. Then third etc. we aren’t forced to vote for a lizard just to prevent the worse lizard getting in (it still almost always comes down to two parties, though).
I know these are total non-starters for our American friends. “You can’t make me vote, that’s against the constitution or something”.
Ranked choice voting (proportional) is still making its way slowly into the mainstream, but with very little reason the change the main political parties torpedo it when they can.
I prefer approval voting, it’s easier to explain and at least as good. Most voting systems also have support for it already.
Easy to teach people new to it too, just pick everyone you are ok with winning.
Most commonly suggested voting systems are better than FPTP, usually by a lot.
Yeah, nearly anything is better than FPTP. But approval voting in particular is simple to explain and basically already supported by nearly all voting equipment out there.
Basically instead of picking one person, you pick everyone you’re OK with. Whoever gets the most votes wins. If the election is for multiple seats then the top X people for most votes wins. No ranking order, no multiple rounds, no way to fill out a ballot wrong, it’s utterly simple.
Compulsory voting is definitely intriguing…even if you had the option to vote “null” meaning not vote for anyone but at least you had to make the effort to say something. The crazies I think are a relatively small portion of the US, they’re just SO much louder than everyone else
A null vote here is a option. Colloquially called a Donkey Vote, or statistically reported as an Informal Vote, you can write nothing on your voting slip and put it straight in the box. Also since voting is compulsory it is held on a Saturday, there are usually sausage sizzles, there must be enough polling places open so you’re not in line for more than 30 minutes, and early voting is a viable option.
A Donkey Vote isn’t the same thing as an Informal Vote. A Donkey Vote means simply numbering the candidates in the order they appear on the ballot. In other words, a thoughtless vote that any donkey could do.
This is why there’s a benefit to appearing in the first spot and why the impartial and independent Australian Electoral Commission (another invaluable aspect of Australian democracy) randomly determines candidate order.
Yeah, these have saved us on a lot of issues I feel. It’s simply a much more representative system than what the Americans do and it helps keep a lot of fringe ideologies at the fringes, where they usually belong.
Minor correction, we have preferential voting not proportional.
What’s Australia’s stance on immigration?
Mixed, as it is in every wealthy country that has more people wanting to move here than move away from here. Because we have such a large migrant population though it is difficult for politicians to gain traction by being outright anti-immigrant.
As an American, I think I’d support compulsory voting… But the right would fight that with everything they had, because if everyone had to vote, they’d never win with their current stances.
As a non american, is this funking real? Not a shitpost? Holy shit the more i read, the worse it becomes. Wtf.
I was thinking surely there must be at least one positive bulletpoint reading that shyte
Defunding the FBI and Homeland Security sounds like a good idea.
Sorry FBI is useful. DHS is tedious, but it would just get rolled into another agency if it shuttered.
I find it amusing that you’re being downvoted by people who likely also claim ACAB and want to “defund the police”, since DHS and FBI are federal law enforcement, aka federal police.
I didn’t downvote, but the optics are very different on those groups. Jane and John Smith are much more likely to have a terrible experience with local police than federal police. I would like to think they operate under different standards, but I admittedly know very little about how the FBI functions.
They serve a purpose. Definitely need a restructuring though.
There is! … If you’re an ultra conservative right wing trump supporter
This is very real. You can read it here: https://www.project2025.org. You can google multiple right wing websites commenting on it for yourself.
Or you can watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYwqpx6lp_s
Believe people when they tell you who they are.
Looks like we’re gonna have to kill some fucking Nazis again
Guess im buying some more guns and ammo before November.

Upvoted because you have a point. This is literally why we need the 2A and “assault weapons”. At least, for now, but it will be a long time and a lot of work before the US can be the utopia people wanting to ban guns think it would be.
And drone and 3D printer etc etc
Protect yourself and your loved ones. This shit is straight up tyranny.
It is part of what 2A was actually meant for.
Would be interesting to see who comes out on top in a battle. A Gravy SEAL or a yoga instructor. One has gun accuracy, the other has everything else.
But I’m sure by day 30 everyone’s over it after another country swoops in to annex during the instability. It’s not like allies can do anything until that point, and then there’ll be that whole rule of engagement where they can’t involve or engage with any Gravy SEALs or yoga instructors unless fired upon first. Which I imagine would happen a lot since the militias have never been “well regulated” and are in no way ready for combat, let alone identifying what’s friendly or foe.
“Whoah! Stop shooting! We’re England!”
“The hell you boys doin’ 'ere?”
“The annexation.”
“The wha?”
“You’re losing your country to Russia and China for like eight months now.”
“We are?”
“Yeah, most of the west coast is already their’s. We’re trying to hold them off-”
“California too?”
“Yes. That’s where they landed.”
“Buddy, that is great news! I gotta report this to HQ.” crosses street to Taco Bell “Captain Grand Wizard, we fuckin’ did it!”
This time the Americans are the Nazis.
always were, if you ask the natives, the global south, black folk
I hear he’s saying he doesn’t know who came up with it. Here’s what Wikipedia says:
Project 2025 partners employ over 200 former officials from the Trump administration.[55] Notable authors of the project’s Mandate for Leadership include many officials and advisors from the Trump administration, including Jonathan Berry, Ben Carson, Ken Cuccinelli, Rick Dearborn, Thomas Gilman, Mandy Gunasekara, Gene Hamilton, Christopher Miller, Bernard McNamee, Stephen Moore, Mora Namdar, Peter Navarro, William Perry Pendley, Diana Furchtgott-Roth, Kiron Skinner, Roger Severino, Hans von Spakovsky, Brooks Tucker, Russell Vought, and Paul Winfree.[56] Former president Trump has not publicly endorsed Project 2025, and his campaign said such recommendations from “external allies” are just “recommendations.”[57]
Vought was named policy director of the Republican National Committee platform committee in May 2024.[58]
At the 2023 Iowa State Fair, the leaders of Project 2025 began recruiting people for future government posts in the event of a Republican victory.[59]
On July 5, 2024 Former President Trump expressed his disagreement with Project 2025 in a statement: “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.”[60][61]
How would he “disagree with some of the things they’re saying” when he "know(s) nothing about Project 2025?
It is such a a simple and impossible to miss thread of logic, isn’t it. Something noone could possibly miss, no?
Infuriating
This is exactly why Trump is the best case scenario for all this ugly shit coming to its battle. Think about if they went to all this trouble of laying the groundwork and rigging the media coverage so everyone spends the whole time talking about how Biden’s old and jerrymandering and overriding vote totals with the state legislature and killing the post office and intimidating voters and running multi billion dollar explicitly seditionist media networks and whatever else and what the hell, it works, and he gets a second term.
And then he says, fuck that, we hate Project 2025 now, if I do that then people won’t like me
It’s the same reason some spy agencies put a kibosh on the idea of killing Hitler… like actually, we looked at it, and this guy’s a seriously mentally ill stimulant-addicted megalomaniac in addition to a stone cold moron who refuses to listen to anyone smarter than him, I think we actually want him to be the one in charge of the whole operation.
No, he’s saying he doesn’t agree with all of it so that any Trump supporter who looks at the list and finds something they don’t like will think “Oh yeah, this is the thing Trump won’t like either, same as me”.
It’s a mental trick to stop the supporters from getting hooked into details.
That too, yes. But my main point is that Trump is such a disorganized moron that I think it’s possible that having him at the helm will undo a lot of the potential effectiveness of Project 2025. Having almost anyone else in charge of its implementation will amp up the terrifyingness level by quite a bit, and it already wasn’t small.
Did you seriously write all that and not once think of all the collateral damage? I mean, Hitler didn’t personally execute millions of Jews. A conservative administration will pack the courts, weaken voter rights, and put sycophants in key positions they will hold for years. Just for starters.
If even half this agenda gets acted on we’ll be fucked for decades.
Wait, hang on. I didn’t mean I want Trump to win. Trump in charge is a global catastrophe. I’m just saying that Ron DeSantis or something, in charge of the machine that’s now been created for Trump, would be a several times worse catastrophe.
I’m saying that defeating Trump is absolutely vital, and that we’re a little bit lucky that it’s Trump, because he’ll be a lot easier to defeat than a lot of other people that might have been in charge of all this stuff that’s been building ever since Roger Ailes had his bright idea, now that it’s come to its fruition.
Condemn single mothers while promoting only “traditional families.”
Should be: Condemn single mothers instead of absent parents.
I can’t wait for them to get rid of birthright citizenship and only too late realize that means they must leave the country.
I do think this is important for people to know about but this is definitely not a cool guide, I recommend posting this on a different community
Awareness > Pedantry…sorry.
Is this for real? Looks like something I would write to ridicule christian and tRump nuts .
Yeah. Most of it is laid out in Project 2025.
More hysterical fantasy from brainwashed morons.
It’s literally not, though.
Nothing but the WEFs opposite number, a convenient boogie man.
Is it really a “boogie man” if the organization is super up-front and blatant about doing bad things?
Well you tell me. Is the WEF a conspiracy theory or not?
Pretty sure it’s not. They seem to be trying to do good things. The P25 crowd on the other hand is openly trying to do bad things. This all feels cut-and-dry to me.
While I concede the MAGA crowd are brainwashed and probably morons, I’m not sure it’s hysterical or fantasy.
Adolf’s waving back…Oh good. I was just thinking there are not enough dictators in the world and we really do need a second Russia.
Good old USA providing yet again. Without you life would be boring. Probably longer too.
Oh look! The topic that actually matters in the election. Far more important than old guys old and waahhh biden not liberal enough.
I think bullet point 5, about stealing social security, is better cited by page 710, where it is explicitly stated as an “area of concern”
Man … i thought this was a funny meme until i noticed the difference in the post description.
F
Nice work!
