Australians are waking up Tuesday morning to see the hashtag #AustraliaHasFallen, which is being used by MAGA followers to denounce their country for deporting tennis player Novak Djokovic after he refused to get vaccinated.
Conservatives in the US are alleging that Australians are angry about Djokovic's treatment.
In reality, however, Australians have had to abide by strict COVID rules for over a year and many of them were angry at the idea that Djokovic would be exempt from the rules everyone else also must follow. The rest of the tennis players participating in the Australian Open have been vaccinated.

That hasn't stopped MAGA world from claiming that the end of Australia is forthcoming. Australians have their own thoughts.
See some Australians' replies to MAGA fans below.
The majority of #AustraliaHasFallen over laughing at this hashtag. To all those who vow never to visit here because we deported a tennis player for failing the requirements to qualify to play in the AO, we consider that another WIN!pic.twitter.com/eyvYV5tbhB— \u2733 \ud835\udcab\ud835\udcb6\ud835\udcc9\ud835\udcc8 \ud835\udc3f\ud835\udc9f \u2733 @\ud835\udd7b\ud835\udd77\ud835\udd6f \ud835\udd7b\ud835\udd94\ud835\udd97\ud835\udd99\ud835\udd97\ud835\udd86\ud835\udd8e\ud835\udd99\ud835\udd98 (@\u2733 \ud835\udcab\ud835\udcb6\ud835\udcc9\ud835\udcc8 \ud835\udc3f\ud835\udc9f \u2733 @\ud835\udd7b\ud835\udd77\ud835\udd6f \ud835\udd7b\ud835\udd94\ud835\udd97\ud835\udd99\ud835\udd97\ud835\udd86\ud835\udd8e\ud835\udd99\ud835\udd98) 1642455417

You do realise that we are open- as long as you are fully vaccinated. If you\u2019re not, we don\u2019t want you here— Crock (@Crock) 1642461007
Wait hold on let me speak out of character....This season of Australia is full of drama so we thought we'd spice it up with a guest star so in comes Djokovic, we had him deported for the show and it seems the US took it too seriously.— Ethan (@Ethan) 1642444779
Just checked out my window. No, Australian has not fallen. But for all you MAGAts, I will pop down to the beach to make sure. #AustraliaHasFallenpic.twitter.com/K5DtYz3jly— cam yuill (@cam yuill) 1642456154
Just to clarify\u2026\n\nA tennis player lied on his visa application\n\nFind me ANY country that would say this is ok!\n\nHe\u2019s an entitled asshat that thinks he\u2019s above the law\n\n84% of AUSTRALIANS agree with the decision\u2026\n\nHe\u2019s not a martyr\u2026 He\u2019s an ass. \n\n #AustraliaHasFallen— Dad's a Hipster \ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddfa \ud83d\udc4d (@Dad's a Hipster \ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddfa \ud83d\udc4d) 1642459437

Americans posting #AustraliaHasFallen because they\u2019re jealous of us, is the same type of jealous that I have when I see a learner driver in a Porsche— Elle\ud83d\udc9e\ud83e\udd42\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddfa (@Elle\ud83d\udc9e\ud83e\udd42\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddfa) 1642461189

#AustraliaHasFallen: Where the people who mostly use the hashtag are Americans having a sook, call everyone sheeple when they took livestock medication, think Trump was a Messiah, and just LOVE to stick their nose where it doesn't belong.— Lauchlan Scase (@Lauchlan Scase) 1642431980
And Americans who joined in mocking the anti-Australian Americans:
LOL at these #AustraliaHasFallen anti-vaxxers and gun kooks who apparently believe in wide-open borders because Australia told some arrogant foreigner he had to follow the same health regulations as Australians.— Kat 4 Obama (@Kat 4 Obama) 1642453153
