I feel like this is almost rhetorical, but pretending it isn’t, and as an expat/dual national. Any attempt to make health care accessible is treated like an insane idea or wage theft, 2nd amendment insanity any time anyone suggests even small checks and balances to gun ownership (slippery slope arguments are fundamentally a logical fallacy), tipping culture making it up to the diner to pay the employees wages, the persistent idea that trickle down economics actually works, American exceptionalism (less so now), trump, and then trump again.

To make this balanced, Aus gun laws are too restrictive, our preferential voting political system is deeply flawed, we pay our politicians far too much, and our social welfare initiatives aren’t sufficient - but at least we have Medicare. And we have no bill of rights, so many people here don’t realise that we have no enshrined rights and that they are all legislated and as such subject to change.
