Nah, I don't think people actually care that much. I work with a bunch of republicans and nobody even brought it up today.
Year after year being able to constantly refer to "that recent mass shooting" has kinda desensitized us, I think. What happened? One guy died? It wasn't Trump? Yawn. Cops stood by two years ago and did nothing while schoolkids were executed en masse. It's harder to give a shit.
this is going to be the craziest test of american political goldfish brain and I seriously think we're going to fail it lmao
I hope trump does something cool to some democrats
I'm kind of interested if you would care to expand or in another post, how does this kind of thing impact oz policy in general? I'm familiar with the post 9/11 air travel cuckery but how much else is there?
Once something becomes the norm in the US it's adopted by its vassel states fairly quickly. Not just air security but the use of cameras and civilian monitoring increased here after 9/11, not to mention Australia and the UK entered the "war on terror".
Hell, during COVID Australia ended it's COVID lockdowns after a visit from Biden. Our politicians even used the exact same language "We can't let the cure be worse than the disease."
We have several US military bases on Australian soil that no one knows what the fuck they do there and only US personal are allowed into.
Recently Australia ended a deal with France to give the US billions of dollars to "build a submarine". In the interest of "Protecting ourselves from China."
It's embarrassing.
