Truss told the rightwing event that the left was “winning the argument” by rebranding “socialism” as “the environment”, “human rights” or “equality” – “but what they mean is they mean divisive identity politics”.
I’d sooner take the opinion of a head of lettuce than this wet noodle.
Imagine taking the time - intentionally - to go and listen to Liz Truss speaking 😆
They’re not sending their best.
This dipshit fascist was done such a favor by being linked to a wilting vegetable. She could’ve quietly disappeared with a doddering do-nothing reputation, and instead, she’s getting lightly ribbed about it while screaming nationalist propaganda across the commonwealth.
About 1,000 people at the CPAC conference in Brisbane also heard the former Conservative party leader blame the “unelected Bank of England”
Demanding elections for businesses? That’s sounds a bit like socialist rhetoric, Comrade Liz!
Truss said that while many were campaigning against conservatives, “the public” was on their side.
Ahh, the ‘silent majority’ routine! It’s funny how the article has to constantly use scare quotes when repeating all these nebulous spooky concepts like ‘the argument’ and ‘the public’. What argument? Which public? The publics which voted out ‘conservative’ parties in Britain and Australia?
The silent majority argument feels like ‘girlfriend goes to another school’ argument of politics.
And if a bunch of people were to believe something, but aren’t vocal about it, doesn’t that mean they either don’t care or know it’s wrong to some extent?
legit, I’ve just started slinging that back when they go on about “the public” or “the majority” or other nebulous bullshit.
you wouldn’t know them. they go to another school
There were jokes and rumours going around Truss was in dominance/submission relationship because the necklace she wears looks a lot like a ‘day collar’ which is a more socially acceptable collar a submissive wears outside.
And people also thought the way she ran the country must have been part of some extravagant humiliation fetish
