In Australia, the biggest dickhead to enter Kirribilli, abbott, spouted a load of tosh to Aung San Suu Kyi that he knew what it was like to be in her shoes. He didn't have a clue and his situation wasn't even vaguely comparable! That idiot abbott was Leader of the Opposition, and when, after the 2010 Election, Australia was faced with a Hung Parliament, was unable to convince the Independents, who held the balance of power, to support him to form government, tried every destabilising trick in the book to no avail. Aung San Suu Kyi, however, was a democratically elected Prime Minister prohibited from ruling due to a military junta.

A curious thing about US democracy, which, to me, is not full democracy, is this. In Australia, government is formed by either one major party having a majority in the House of Representatives or a major party being supported by a minor party or Independent to form government. The party that forms government elects a leader and that leader becomes Prime Minister. I wondered why people would be registered to vote Republican or Democrat in the US, and I found out that it's because those people could then be selected to vote at the Electoral College.

Trump cannot claim that the election was stolen from him on several grounds. One, surely, when people were voting, if the machines were faulty, people would have spoken up about it. Two, things have moved on. In Martin Luther King's day, people were saying it was too hard to vote, which was just an excuse to attempt to justify denying voting rights to African Americans.

Voting is not compulsory in the US, and what trump didn't want to accept was his performance in the White House spurred people to vote, AGAINST HIM, and he was so narcissistic and so arrogant that he didn't believe he'd be turfed out. Well, turf him out the Americans did!
