We don't have Trump and things would be a lot worse if we'd had Trump. We've had no shortage of Murdoch and the yellow press sowing discord and destroying social cohesion, though. Look up #nobeersfornewscorp on twitter and you'll see what I mean.

The real leader during all of this has been Dan Andrews (the Premier, sort of like your Governor). The leadership throughout this has come from the states first and the Commonwealth Government a distant second. It says something about Scott Morrison's leadership that he has yet to come out and congratulate Victorians on what they've achieved.

Maaan I remember when Rupert Murdoch was the biggest shitheel we had to deal with on the right. Before Breitbart, before InfoWars, before OANN. That was back before we had congressmen who believed in the blood libel.
