Is there cosmic significance that yesterday's Kentucky Derby winner was a horse named "Sovereignty"? (Benedict Donald, take note — if you're not too busy upsetting Catholics with fake-Pope images.)
But there was another race this weekend that was more important.
The Australian election was supposed to be a photo finish. Guess again! As Australian media put it, it was a thumping win for the center-left Labor party. And how weird is this? Just like in Canada, the leader of Australia's Trumpy official opposition lost his parliamentary seat — which he's held for 24 years. Peter Dutton, welcome to the PP Club.
So, add another Western ally to the countries that have rejected Donald and Donaldism: France, Germany, Canada, Mexico, the UK, and now Australia have all definitively rejected the MAGA-ization of their politics — and recommitted themselves to coalition building in defense of democracy around the world. We cats salute them, and we PURR.
P.S. Did you know that Australia has a Katter party? We didn't, either! We cats PURR again.
