At least Trump was elected a few months before our election, so people can see what a piss-poor job he's doing, and what a load of bollucks his promises were.
It looks like at least news.com.au in Australia has turned on him a bit (Sky news though is still out there brainwashing people 150% though to make up for it)
A server admin has told me that BrainInabox is reporting people who argue with them, and that included me..
So, your instinct is right on mate. Their actions don't match their suggestion that they actually give a damn about people. They seem to be a strong supporter of fascism and silencing anyone they disagree.. Kind of like trump..
