The PM of Australia nails it:

“ If you get to the point where anyone who can muster a majority is given absolute power and they can do whatever they like to the minority, that is not a democracy. That is tyranny. That is an autocracy, even if it has got the support of 50 or 51% of the population. That is not what makes a democracy. A democracy, as we understand it, protects all citizens and the rule of law applies to all citizens.” Kaboom. #votekamala

The former #POTUS #DonaldJTrump has made an outrageous claim that the #Democrat #Governor of #NorthCarolina, #RoyCooper, and the #Federal #Government, are “going out of their way to not help people in #Republican areas” following #HurricaneHelene (1).

Remember that every accusation is a confession. During the early period of #COVID the Republican #Trump #Administration reportedly baulked at a large-scale national plan in response to the #pandemic because the #virus seemed to initially favour #Democratic #states and was not (then) affecting Republican states (2, see also image).

Here in #Australia, we had a #conservative prime minister that in 2022 was faced with massive #floods and politicised the response to them: funding his party’s seats and states but not the other party’s seats and states (3). What happened to that prime minister is instructive: he led his party to the next #election and was soundly defeated: recording the worst result for Australia’s centre-right governing parties in seventy years.
