The claim that the by election campaign will somehow be a beautiful women’s moment of enlightenment where politics can be discussed in a respectful way without the destructive ego of the Brosocialists while everyone gets a hug and a gold star for participating just seems so woefully optimistic.
People didn’t elect Trump for stable Government, they voted him into destroy, damage and hate all the cultural insecurities & fears they feel from a perceived loss of privilege. This cultural dislocation is compounded by free market neoliberal globalisation that saw 50% of Union families vote for Trump.
Understanding why white working class Union men and women voted for Trump will win the 2020 election and remove this blight on global democracy, screaming racist sexists will ensure those voters go back to Trump.
Just because the Military Industrial Complex and its war machine lust hates Trump, that’s no reason for any decent human being to respect or support Trump.
Some reckons on the deep and dark toxic masculinity sexual culture that drives Trumpism.

I say all this as someone who desperately wants to see Labour as the backbone of any new Government and Andrew Little as the Prime Minister with a very Green Cabinet, but there are some terrible political blunders being made and the ramifications could be a Fourth National Government.
