Why would you pay money to attend a political rally?
A right wing one at that?
Seems dumb.
Especially for a minor American pundit in Australia. What's even the point? She knows far less about Australian politics than American politics and that's already a very low bar.
So do the people that bought the tickets I bet.
Used to with with a guy that would not shut the fuck up about Trump. He was from New Zealand, living in Perth so he couldn't vote here, couldn't vote in America, and didn't vote in New Zealand. He thought the liberals were the left wing party here, couldn't tell you the PM's name here or in New Zealand, but he could tell you what Trump had for breakfast and recite his 40 latest tweets while he listened to Joe Rogan.
Sounds awful.
I could tell you trump's last 40 tweets but for entirely different reasons. (OK not really). We recently had A Kiwi bloke at work that went over to the States. One of the reasons was to see "the comedian" Joe Rogan. I said something negative about Musk and this bloke defended him saying how doge had saved heaps of money for America. Lol.
There were more things, anyway he's gone now thank goodness.
That's because it's American culture. Politics is celebrity and entertainment over there, as opposed to here where no one gives a fuck outside of cookers and nerds.
