Comment on Referendum Results, Congratulations, Comiserations

Glad this is over with. I fully expect the next week or two to be filled with articles bemoaning how ‘No’ only succeeded because people are racist/stupid.

Hopefully after this final whinge our politicians and media can start narrowing focus on things most people actually find important.

Lots of people do care about this and find it important.

    Yes democracy. Point being that most no voters aren’t racist but fully have zero empathy for minority groups in this country and wouldn’t dare lift a finger.

To be fair, there are a lot of very racist people in Australia. Its reputation as a deeply racist country is known far and wide.

Also, Australia voted to not be a republic, and people think Clive Palmer is their friend and saviour, so… Yeah, plenty of idiots out there. I mean, the no campaign basically promoted and lived on ignorance. “If you don’t know”? Come on. How dumb do you have to be?
