Never be surprised by an Aussie. Yes we are flawed and have our failings, but generally we show empathy and believe in a fair go; hence the hugs and concern. We also vote!

We have compulsory voting from the age of 18, here in Australia. This is for all levels of government. Whether it is a council election, a state election or Federal/National election. If you don’t vote, you can receive a $$ fine. We are also interconnected by the World Wide Web.
Hence, even if Aussies get fed up with personalities and ideologies, they are usually attuned and aware to not just our elections, but global elections.
After all, contrary to some beliefs, in a global village, “large community groups and families=countries” going it alone, has ripples.
........ All decisions made, affect the other people in that village.
So Australia and other countries being of a democratic base, who may have seen an increased step to the right or far right, need to ensure the blinkers are off and they are alert to the fact. So we send hugs and say breathe... and will along with Canadians, be your emotional support!
No matter where we are from: indifference, complacency and a closed mind are unsafe and dangerous attributes to be around. (This is not a political party comment. There’s enough of that, so we don’t need it here on the forum.) ❤️💐
