We have lower income people facing down Gestapo tactics in Minneapolis, but Kevin Rudd, who never has to work another day in his life, is deleting comments and taking abuse from Trump, and Albanese is forcing him out?

Why are these "leaders" - most of whom are rich enough so that their grandchildren will never have to work - so fucking soft? Literally people for whom everything is on the line are standing on the frontlines against fascism. It's unbelievable.
