Absolutely. Some of those fucked-up stars look like maple or cannabis leaves 😆 It's not like Palmer couldn't have afforded an illustrator, either. Right-wing boomers just love AI garbage for some reason.

Oh, and as a bonus, the Latin is wrong 😆

You can’t trust an illustrator, as most people who can draw are commies. Which is why AI exists: so right-wing people can get art made without paying some dirty hippie who believes in equality and human rights.

LOL. Clive saw Trump win and ordered his people to lean into identifying as closely with that as they can get away with legally. It’s like scammy electric-car startups a few years ago choosing names that sounded as reminiscent of Tesla as possible (Nikola, Faraday Future) without actually infringing on any trademarks.

The problem of that the plausibly-deniable reading of his new party name, with its Biblical-apocalyptic imagery and emphatic pledge-of-allegiance patriotism, comes across as exceedingly American, to the point where most undecided Australians would take one look and say “yeah, nah”.
