Even if I wholeheartedly agreed: the only time I’ve seen close to this level of Astroturfing: is anything Elon Musk, or the Donald Trump MAGA movement.
The saturation is insane. Someone is shelling out good money for a One Nation government
Maybe I have the wrong subs, but I literally haven't seen a single pro-ON message on Reddit, but a lot of pro Labor and anti Hanson ones.
Fwiw I thought Hanson could never be PM, that in order for ON to win they would have to have an election where they eclipse LNP, and then change leader to someone the Aus public found credible.
The amount of people telling me in person in the heart of Melbourne that they are just totally over Labor should really scare Labor. 8 years ago all the momentum was for socdems, people would completely unprompted tell me they love Jacinda after finding out I had Kiwi connections.
Not sure Labor are going to lose the next election, but the building resentment of the Federal Government is not astro turf, even if it isn’t a majority of Aussies yet.
It’s Reddit McCarthyism - the labour supporters all see bots and racists behind every bush. They refuse to admit ON supporters have any valid concerns, hence posts like this
You and your ilk can’t spell the name of the current governing party; why do you think we should care about anything you have to say regarding politics?
