@yvonneplant9434 As for you comment about Australian's telling Americans what to do. We can certainly tell you how to hold an election, but then so can more than 100 other countries. Maybe you should ask the Russians or Chinese how to hold your next election.

I'm an Australian who went to college in America (late 80s). I did engineering but a bunch of friends were pre-law and we used to discuss various things about how our countries worked. I'd studied Orwell in High school (Animal Farm and 1984) which was pretty standard in Australia. I used to argue, as Orwell warned, that any country could fall into a totalitarian state. They used to argue and assure mt that the American System via its constitution that it was not possible for America to become an totalitarian state. This was in the late 80s so they'd all studied civics in high school as as law students they were very well versed in the constitution and how the various parts of the system worked. I'd love to sit down with them now and ask how this has all happened considering they all assured me that this kind of thing was IMPOSSIBLE. They assured me that stripping away people's basic right to vote was IMPOSSIBLE. There's a lot going on in America they assured me was IMPOSSIBLE. They called it the "system of checks and balances." What we never discussed, because it was inconceivable. "What would happen if that system became corrupted?" The main part of that "system of checks and balances" is the US Senate, where senior government appointments and judges are confirmed. Mitch McConnel with massive funding via the Federalist Society has manged to corrupt that system so it no longer functions properly causing serious NEGATIVE EFFECTS through the entire system. And for any country that trades with and/or has security agreements with America its as serious as it can get because it means America is no longer a reliable partner.

@yvonneplant9434 I never said or claimed Australia was perfect. I really like America and have a lot of time for most Americans. My college friends cold explain the US Constitution so well I have no doubt its one of the greatest achievements in human history. Its why I hate your kind of American as much as I do. You have crapped all over the greatest gift the people of any nation was ever given. I believe in the US Constitution more than you do.
