    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:

    1. Compulsory voting. These MAGA crazies are not and will never be the majority. If everyone had to vote, they’d never get in.
    2. 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”.

      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.

      Good thing that USA is spending as much on their military as during the height of WW2, so they can come and help. Wait a moment…
