It is rather sad to see how a once great democracy has decided to abolish itself.

Hey, the people have spoken, you might say. Sure they did, but not before they had been brainwashed into believing the most ridiculous promises and lies.

Many smart people will spend many hours over the coming days, months and years thinking about what the reason for this collective decision might be to elect a criminal and sexual predator as president. Was it ignorance, stupidity, gullibility or simply a "don't give a s**t" attitude? Or a combination of all of these?

Anyway, it is hard to see who this can end anything but as a disaster. For the world of course, but even more for the Americans.

Those MAGA fools in the streets who celebrated their Führer like they would have celebrated Hi**er marching into Poland in 1939 will be the ones to suffer most under the coming Trumpocracy. Instead, competitors such as China and the European Union will win, if Trump fulfils all his promises.

Because despite all the bulls**t you have been reading on Elon-Musk-and Putin-manipulated social media, facts still count.

Facts such as these:

The USA has a population of just around 350 million - in Europe (including the UK and Ukraine, excluding Russia) there are around 600 million people who live and consume.

Compared to Europe - and even more so to China, India or Africa (each with a population of around 1.5 billion) - the USA is therefore far from sufficient as a market for US companies.

The USA has a gigantic mountain of debt of approx. 35 trillion euros (approx. 120% of annual GDP). Compared to the EU of approx. 13 trillion or Germany (approx. 2.4 trillion)

The expected measures of the new government and the corresponding counter-reactions/consequences will have a profound impact, in several ways:

Protectionism, America First, trade war: Extreme tariffs on imports from China (up to 60% have already been mentioned) are to be expected. Especially on e-cars to satisfy the new “shadow president” Elon Musk. In return, China and the EU will strike back. On the balance sheet the USA will suffer massively.

Reduction of costs in state administrations: This will happen in the organizations that Trump hates so much, but whose boss he is now becoming once again. Tens of thousands of people will lose their jobs, millions of people and their families will have to do without the benefits they are used to.

Boosting the domestic economy (infrastructure and military): This will only possible through massive government investment. The result will be further indebtedness with increased dependence on creditors such as China.

Tax cuts for companies: Which will disappear into the pockets of owners (shareholders) and board members. Services to the public will have to be cut, because of a reduction in tax income.

Increasing “predatory capitalism”: Price regulations (especially for medicines and medical services) are likely to be abolished. People will die because they can’t afford to buy vital medicine.

The consequences for the USA are as follows:

Dramatic rise in unemployment.
The rich will become even richer, the poor even poorer.
Even the middle class - not to mention the poorest part of the population - will be able to afford less and less. Incidentally, credit card debt has already reached a new record level of around 1.1 trillion dollars!!!

MAGA fools, enjoy it while it lasts.
Because it won’t last for long.

Treating both sides equally can seriously distort the facts, if the evidence is weighted to one side. Looking at the US election, climate change denial and more, a journalism expert explains why.

Not all issues or conflicts have two sides.

Welcome to “The Australia Dialogue”- page

“The Australia Dialogue” is a forum initiated by a group of concerned citizens for the exchange of information and ideas that affect life in Australia and the world, now and in the future. This page aims to discuss political, economic and social developments and facts that hinder or improve sustainable living and strengthen communities on a local, national and global level.

We strongly believe that only informed, critically thinking and acting citizens of all ethnicities, ages, social and educational backgrounds and sexual orientation can work towards solving the problems we as a country and global community are facing - first and foremost the threat of a global heating apocalypse.

Our goal is a socially inclusive, environmentally and economically sustainable and fair, fundamentally democratic Australia that respects the unique cultures and environment that bind us all together.
