  1. I'm Australian but went to college in America in that late 80s on a sports scholarship. So unlike many other non-Americans I can testify to how good American education USED TO BE. I did aerospace engineering at a top level engineering school (U. Illinois). A bunch of my friends were pre-law and they used to drag me into their discussions on the constitution. It used to astound me how well educated ALL OF THEM WERE and even those NOT doing law could argue the US Constitution. It used to embarrass me how well even average non-college educated Americans were regarding how their country functioned and how the constitution worked. The answer was very simple America USED TO HAVE classes in what were called civics until a guy named George Bush defunded it. Having personally seen the benefits and now seeing the result I am 100% convinced the most important step ANY COUNTRY (including Australia) the the most important class anyone can do in high school after basic reading & writing is a CIVICS class pertinent to their country.

  2. INCORRECT - Trumps taking America forward into a dystopian catastrophe that will just look like he's time warped America back into the Medieval Era.

  3. Australian here and I went to college in America. Your not quite right. What they voted for was CHANGE just like they did in 2016. What they have done is REJECT the Status Quo politics of the Democrats and that's NOT an American thing either. This is happening across the developed world. People are tired of the Liberal Elites and their Status Quo politics where they get what they want and the rest of us get left out. There's a Congressional Budget Office report on Family Wealth that Bernie Sanders commissioned. It shows that form 1989 to 2019 the Bottom 50% of America went NOWHERE while the Top 10% GAINED close to $60 Trillion in wealth. Here's the most basic data. Bottom 50% in 1989 were worth $1.4 Trillion and in 2019 they were worth $2.3 Trillion a gain of $0.9 Trillion Top 10% in 1989 were worth $24.3 Trillion and in 2019 they were worth $82.4 Trillion a gain of $58.1 Trillion So the Top 105 with 1/5th as many people gained over 60x what the Bottom 50% gained over those 30 years. Per person those Top 10% gained over 300x as much wealth per person in the Bottom 50% Just go and google "congressional budget office family wealth" Its the report NO Democrat or Republican wants any American to see because it lays bare just how bad BOTH have been in managing America's economy. So when Hilary said "more of the same" she asked to get rejected and she was. And when Kamala said "I'd do nothing different" she asked to be rejected and she was. Trump tapped into the "we want change" undercurrent that's been building in America for decades. AND YES we have the same issue here in Australia AND BOTH SIDES of politics here refuse to acknowledge it.
