Just curious, why are so many Australians such huge Trump supporters?

Seems odd for them to be so heavily invested in American politics.

I'm a Brit and this surprises me too. I have met plenty of Aussie but I'm only semi familiar with their political culture.

Maybe the culture war is big in Australia too but their conventional politics stays clear of that? Australia is very very anti immigration and does have a lot of racist attitudes.

Maybe there is also something about the competitive and macho nature of Aussie culture which breeds alienated outsiders who have resentment but still have a sense of entitlement, like the alt right?
