(1) Brief thread about the recent election in New Zealand.

The majority of NZ voters are more brainwashed than even I thought they were.

Having now seen one of the worst NZ election results for conservatives in my lifetime, I think we're at the point the USA was, pre-2016.
(2) Remember the USA before Trump entered politics in 2015? (Real) conservatives were despondent, but still fighting as best they could to limit the damage Democrats and the GOPe were doing to the country.

GOPe = Establishment Republicans.
(3) That's what NZ is like right now. So I hold on, protecting myself as best I can, economically & in terms of safety. The chance to put things right has been pushed further out.

Not necessarily for the full 3 years of a term, but probably.

The Labour-led govt is emboldened.

(1) What is Ivanka Trump's role in this administration?

She's the US Ambassador to Congressional Democrats (and the ever-decreasing Congressional Never Trump caucus.)

Because these groups are out of touch with the USA in 2018.

(2) The caption to the above photo of Ivanka's family with the WH Thanksgiving Turkey could be read as just a cutesy statement, and nothing more.

But it got me thinking about the differences between the sterotypical red state and blue state "mind."
(3) "After watching their Grandpa pardon “Peas” and “Carrots” at the White House on Tuesday, Joseph and Arabella have sworn off turkey and are insisting on a vegetarian Thanksgiving!"

My red state mind didn't read this in the way the blue state mind would.
