1/ Whilst this tweet inadvertently compares the ABC to Fox News & hilariously sets up a premise that progressives will be blaming another LNP election win on Antony Green, its important to remember something when he compares progressives to MAGAs.

2/ Trump caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people by downplaying the virus under the guise of “keeping America calm”. And when Delta initially hit Sydney, & Gladys downplayed the risk, Carrick encouraged Sydneysiders to “shrug their shoulders & go about their day”.

3/ To this day that complacency towards COVID continues to kill Americans, many of whom bagged out progressives until their last breath. And as complacency is now killing Australians, Carrick is bagging out progressives for criticising the ABC when it obfuscates health responses.

4/ Do I actually think Carrick is a MAGA? No. I’m returning insult. People who lash out with these lazy MAGA comparisons are not doing it intellectually. Its all emotion. That ego will never admit to falling for the “Gold Standard” narrative.

5/ We’re mutually blocked, but his footprint is so concrete on Twitter as you lovely people keep retweeting him. To clarify though, he blocked me first when I pointed out he was down a rabbit hole.

Hope he gets out one day! 😘
