She is nothing so complicated. She's merely a relic of the old white, stupid and racist class that was fairly commonplace 50 years ago.

She was screaming into the wind about "Asians" before the US president tried his thing as a Democrat 25 years ago (which nobody seems to talk about). She pre dates tea parties and Maga by decades.

    I’m well aware of her history, but my post is more about One Nation than the jester who spawned it.

    They’re merely the .au flavour of the authoritarian and fascist weed that cultivates and thrives on division and despondency. ‘Ranga MAGA’ is an alliteration to bind their Orange branding with the Trump movement Hanson is now trying to distance them from.

    It’s largely irrelevant how the pieces fit together, none of their platform is intended to be coherent, nor logically consistent, they just need it to conjure attention.
