In response to my nation's leader being stood up by the USA's autocrat-in-chief, I have sent the following to several of national MPs:  

"Dear Members of Parliament, 

I am GLAD we, Australia, have been stood up by the hate-filled, questionable sanity, lying "leader" of the USA. 

Trying to meet with that evil person is a bit like trying to be a sycophant to Hitler in the mid-1930s. 

The current US regime - the word administration has not been appropriate for some time - is evil:   it decision to cut off aid is likely to kill killed millions around the world,   it is actively hunting down members (including US citizens) of minorities (people such as myself [I am in two categories in particular at risk in the US - and from nazis here] - and I have friends in minority groups in the USA) and people who are not sycophants to their head of state,   and   it is trying to force other nations - or at least their leaders - into acquiescing or being perceived as acquiescing with the hate and/or fantasies of USA's chief autocrat. Very few leaders have come out of that without at least embarrassment, and I would rather Australia was spared the embarrassment of the meeting in the first place. 

The USA is currently at a nadir that began with Nixon, was nudged along by Reagan and accelerated by the second Bush. It is likely to evolve ultimately into something better in coming decades, but until then, it is DANGEROUS. 

This is an opportunity for us - and the rest of the world - to do what it should have been doing over the last half century, and stop relying on the USA as an easy stop gap. 

The Prime Minister has already stood up to the USA's "leader" on several occasions (e.g., amount of defence spending): this is another opportunity to help us move in to a truly mature and independent state as a nation. Doing so may include actively helping our industries shift to other markets: that is the price of being an "adult" nation." 

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider: 

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”;  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
