I really don't understand the right wing outside America that want to white wash the crimes of the American right wing. Other than the fact they see kindred spirits who they don't think should be held accountable for anything.
It's disturbing though. I like Bernie Sanders, he's just about the only US politician I have any time for. If it came out he was fucking underaged prostitutes, I'd want the book thrown at him. Because morality should come before standing by a "political ally."
These people, though, just don't have that kind of moral compass. They're honestly worse than the blinded football supporters who'll stand by rapist players just because they play for the club they like - because in the situation you're describing it's fuckin' Australians who should have no skin in the game with regards to America releasing an ethics report on an unethical congressman. It simply doesn't impact their lives at all.
The MAGA mindset is very interesting because it's definitely spread worldwide now. These people view Trump's support as allies of Farage's gaggle of idiots, the German Neo-Nazis in AfD, France's surviving Nazi-sympathiser party National Front, and various other groups of far right bullshit all around the west. They also fuckin' love Orban's Hungary, which is the shame of the EU & have their dicks hard for Putin, a war criminal that makes George W Bush look like someone with a soul. I think the world's in for a rough time with these morons around trying to create a global alliance of far-right bullshit.
He did the same shit in his first term, not really surprising.
I think what is the most surprising is that he wants Canada and Mexico to be US states.
