I’m not the first to point this out but if they last week hasn’t convinced you that @LiberalAus now has a majority dark, authoritarian, Trumpian ideology look at how hard @DaveSharma simps for whatever dreck the authoritarian right is pushing.

@DaveSharma is a lifetime moderate - but also a careerist. He’s made his choice as a cooly rational one that there is no hope for getting a ministry unless you at at least turn a blind eye to:
- Conspiracy theories about COVID
- QANON
- Blatant corruption
- A US attempted coup

So if you want to know where the median @LiberalAus member is today, look at the choices he is making. He’s not an idiot, he knows where the centre of gravity is and it is on the insane-Qanon-5G-gave-the-reptilians-COVID side of things. This is the @LiberalAus today.

When the man who stands for nothing but himself stands on one side it’s as good as a bricklayers level for telling you where the power is in a political party.
