Just like Trump in the US, Pauline Hanson is normalising the targeting of anyine who isn't from a European background.

MODERATORS
Pauline Hanson looks the best she's ever looked with her ugly racist mug covered.
and yet she leads the most popular party in Australia according to recent polls, her hate and stupidity resonate.
I had a friend say to me "she just makes sense"... and yet there is no part of me that thinks anything she speaks of makes sense
So fucking embarrassing.
It hits me right in the smug. We were the last sane democracy for a while there. Still plenty of time for an implosion before the next election though.
I guess because, like most populists, she uses very simple messaging to dumb down complex issues so that anyone can understand them.
