Why the Voice could be a bulwark against Trumpism gaining a stronger foothold in Australia

As former Labor minister Barry Jones has wisely noted, the Voice referendum feels like 2016 all over again.

Key Points:

As former Labor minister Barry Jones has wisely noted, the Voice referendum feels like 2016 all over again.
The only consolation was that Trump did not win a majority of votes in the United States.
Maybe the Voice will prevail, as Senator Pat Dodson says:
I believe Australians are better than this.

A campaign defined by fear-mongering

Anthony Albanese has said there is “nothing scary, nothing to be fearful of here”.
Liberal Party politicians have been warned that those who support the Voice will lose their pre-selection for seats in parliament.
Former ACT Chief Minister Kate Carnell has said
This has been politicised to the point that people aren’t comfortable to campaign for what they believe in because of the politics.

How Trump’s messages seep into Australia

If he returns to power, Australia will undoubtedly see a steady flood of these messages via his social media posts and pronouncements from the Oval Office.
“Law and order” will be a recurrent theme in the 2024 presidential election, should Trump be the Republican candidate again.
Trump supporters in Australia, including some who hold or aspire to public office, will pick up those messages and propagate them here.

Why the Voice could insulate Australia from Trumpism

The existence of the Voice will mean that Trumpism is unlikely to derail what the body is intended to achieve.
The victorious opponents of the Voice, with their echoes of Trumpism, will be poised to keep advancing their agenda.
As George Megalogenis recently concluded, “A ‘no’ vote would revive both the colonial ghost of dispossession and the federation ghost of the White Australia policy.” That would be a victory for Trumpism in Australia, even before Trump’s fate is decided next year by voters in America.

America is on the brink of another civil war, this one fuelled by Donald Trump

Key Points:

Before reflecting on the stakes of this crisis, however, we should consider its deeper roots.
How could this same person appeal to another sixth or so of voters, putting him in position to return to power in 2024 as the Republican front-runner?

Chosen people

“Those who labour in the earth are the chosen people of God.” So proclaimed Thomas Jefferson in 1785 in his Notes on the State of Virginia, which he had originally written as a series of letters for a French visitor.
Jefferson’s words were more than hot air.
With minor changes and variations, parties and presidents flattered and favoured the rural majorities of America.
This continued after the Civil War destroyed slavery in the 1860s and after America became a majority urban society in the 1920s.

White, straight, Christian

At its worst, that culture disdains the “fly-over states” as rustic, racist backwaters.
Either way, the new, diverse America enrages tens of millions of people who predominantly live in small towns and in the South and mostly identify as white, straight and Christian.
He tells the MAGA faithful that they alone are what made America great and that he alone can restore them to greatness.

Decision 2024

The most recent charges show beyond a shadow of a doubt that Trump kept repeating — and acting upon — claims about the election that even his closest advisers characterized as “just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.” Whether Trump himself knew these claims to be false is not as clear, and the special counsel in the case, Jack Smith, will have to show as much to establish the former president’s criminality.
But as American journalist Zackk Beauchamp points out, the indictments prove that Trump is either “an extraordinarily selfish liar or profoundly deluded.” Trump will admit to neither, of course.
Sometime between his arraignment this week and election day next November, America will therefore have to choose between the rule of law and fact, on one hand, or with the rule of the chosen people and their leader, on the other.

Nikki Haley: the 'new generation' candidate trying to win the Republican nomination

Retrieved on:

Saturday, June 10, 2023

Haley entered the 2024 race on February 14 2023 with a strong electoral résumé, having never lost an election.

Key Points:

Haley entered the 2024 race on February 14 2023 with a strong electoral résumé, having never lost an election.
She was elected to the South Carolina legislature in 2004 and ran for governor in 2010, winning narrowly, but coasted to victory in 2014.
Her winning record will now be tested by a growing field of candidates, including the clear leader for the Republican nomination: Donald Trump.

Breaking political records

At 38, she was the youngest governor of any state in the union at the time.
She rose to national prominence in 2015 following a mass shooting at an African-American church in Charleston.
In January 2023, Haley explained her rationale for this change of heart, stating:
I think it’s time for new generational change.

Competency test for over 75s

At 51 she is significantly younger than both Donald Trump and president Joe Biden.
In remarks to the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in March 2023, Haley called for all politicians over the age of 75 to pass a mental competency test.
Haley is also behind on national endorsements with only one congressman having offered his public support.
Haley has been critical of this position and called for continued military and financial support for Ukraine.

Three challenges

As well as low poll numbers and a lack of important political endorsements, Haley faces three further challenges.
Also, the rules for deciding allocation of delegates in Republican primaries are determined by individual states.
For example, in the 2016 Florida Republican primary Trump won 45.7% of the vote and consequently all of its 99 delegates.
At this stage in the race, however, Nikki Haley’s path to the White House remains tricky.
