Heather du Plessis-Allan is perhaps the only legacy media person in New Zealand who didn’t lose her mind over Donald J Trump, even if her husband was doing so.
She writes in the Herald rag yesterday:
The meltdown over Donald Trump’s victory is no surprise. Some people were sent hysterical by the man.
In the hours following his win, my Facebook feed was full of friends in various levels of distress because “misogyny is back”. One colleague was “frightened”. A friend of a friend needed consoling.
One person warned me Trump was a danger. Why?, I asked.
Because, came the reply, he would take the world to the brink of war.
At this stage, the brink of war would frankly be preferable to what’s actually happening in the world, which is that we have two wars under way.
Neither of which were started under Trump.
Both of which were started under Joe Biden.
Both of which run the risk of growing into something bigger.
