The shameful period of government oppression under the Covid alarmism demonstrated that people are easily lulled into a false sense of faith in authority.
Most willingly complied with the dumbest of government demands, placing their own health at risk as a result.
It's the shame that these people (and governments) don't like to talk about now.
The art of distraction (or manipulation) is well underway in the South Australian election campaign, with Premier Peter Malinauskas at the helm.
'Mali from Marketing' keeps trying to prop up his poll numbers with a growing number of government-funded distractions to keep the populace from thinking about the real issues.
Bread and circuses, anyone?
His latest was pinching the MOTO GP from Victoria. I have to admit to being excited about resurrecting the old Adelaide GP street circuit but I also know all of these events come at a huge cost.
I also understand the concept of spending money to make money, but I get the sense these events are more about stopping South Australians from noticing the growing problems behind the headlines.
State debt is approaching $50 billion, healthcare is pushed to the limit, homelessness and crime are growing problems and houses remain completely unaffordable. Throw in a broken electricity system and a bunch of PC nonsense from the bureaucracy, and the pattern is clear.
Mali from Marketing is fiddling while South Australia starts to crumble.
And few seem to care, at least not yet.
Eventually, reality catches up with the political spin cycle, and the people see how they have been duped.
That's one reason One Nation is doing so well.
After three decades of calling out the lies and deceptions practised by the Uniparty, Pauline Hanson's message is resonating with millions of people.
And frankly, we need more of it.
More people are waking up to the fact that today's societal pain stems from decades of Uniparty policies.
One Nation represents the last best hope we have of changing the trajectory the Uniparty have set us all on. That's why I have thrown my shoulder to the wheel, and it's why you should too.
