Well, they might have taken it down recently - they seem to have taken down most of their longform policies recently, though I'm not sure I'm navigating their site correctly - but I was referring to this horror show of a policy they took to the last two(?) elections. Money quote:

CODE OF CONDUCT

The Greens will establish a code of conduct for Members of Parliament to ensure that they do not use their public office and parliament to condone far right extremism or normalise racism. It would bind Members to recognise the value and contribution of First Nations people, to recognise and value diversity and to reject discriminatory or exclusionary statements.

That policy would effectively ban One Nation (and Clive Palmer, who was slightly more of a thing when this was drawn up), because their party policies explicitly disagree with that requirement and as such they'd either have to abandon their platform or be ejected. This is presumably the intent. The moment I saw that, the Greens landed smack-bang at the bottom of my preference list (at least among notable parties).

(There's also a mention of mandating anti-racism training for MPs; it doesn't make clear whether they'd simply have to sit there and listen to it or whether they'd have to agree with it on an exam, though.)

Is he bad? Yes. Is he literally going to have all his political opponents rounded up and killed? No. I'll protect my sources a little, but I've seen significant chunks of the SJ side of politics saying (paraphrased) "when they come to kill us all, are you still just going to tell us to 'vote harder'? Let's fight the fascists!"

This is important. If someone is Literally Hitler, tactics that have large collateral damage (like open revolt and assassinations) are on the table. It is really bad that a lot of SJ is concluding wrongly that that's the case and advocating those tactics. I mean, Christ, Trump literally got shot a couple of years ago.

So a lot of people are dangerously wrong (deranged) in the same way (syndrome) specifically about Trump. Sounds like a useful term to coin, even if it's sometimes misapplied.
