Or several good things? It reinforces the old adage that citizens get the government they deserve. Sure all (96-99%) politicians lie to voters but there was absolutely no excuse for the non brain dead citizens to vote for Donald Trump the second time. They knew what a whining, lying crybaby he was after he lost the election to Joe Biden. Keep in mind it's not just American citizens. Here in Canada we elect twits and idiots left and right. Look at the third Mike Harris to come down the line after the first one (Premier of Ontario). They had to parachute # 3 into K-W to take advantage of the fact that Mike Harris # 2 was a sitting politician here. The Conservative Party removed the incumbent # 2 to open the door for the idjit # 3 . Perhaps his best qualification is at making babies??? I suspect his father (# 1) saw the opportunity and got him into politics otherwise he (# 3) and his family would be on the breadline.
Next is the fact that Donald Trump is a convicted felon, a womanizer (not necessarily with their consent), a repeated bankrupt, a repeated thief of wages and unpaid for items and has been sued apparently hundreds of times in civil court. Oh and he's also a serial liar, a narcissist and a cheat at golf. In other words he has proven that any piece of shit is qualified to be the President of the United States. He also has very bad taste in friends.
Thirdly he has corrupted all those around him willing to do or say anything to keep themselves in power. He and his fellow travellors will even call the murder of an unarmed, fleeing woman and mother an act of self-defence by an armed, trained ICE officer simply to protect their initial ideological and idiotic decision to send thousands of armed officers into cities around the country who neither want nor need those officers disrupting the peace. Further Mr. Trump has threatened or invaded or bombed Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Greenland, Columbia, Cuba and Canada. And his minions and toadies are right there defending his behaviour and actions.
Fourthly he has lifted the veil behind which so many of our authorities like to hide. They were democratically elected hence they must have some inherently good qualities. No they have money, power and influence. Millions of stupid people support their bullsh*t. In America just like most countries you get born into politics. Look at the first paragraph and Mike Harris # 2. Look at Justin Trudeau in Canada. He has Pierre Elliot Trudeau's last name and better looks. That's good enough for the idiot voters obviously. Look at Donald Trump and his petty, vindicative treatment of those Republicans who are not enamoured with corrupt as*holes. Trump's father left him millions of dollars. Look at the Kennedy lineage in the U.S. although history may suggest that being a national politician in the U.S. can shorten one's lifespan.
Reason number 4 above is the big one. Being elected to office is a popularity contest. Don't you remember those from high school? Good looking kids preferably with money, friends and influence based on no more than their looks, their clothes, their friendly personalities etc. That's who end up in positions of power and authority and it's only luck if they are intelligent, compassionate and honest human beings. We other idiots will vote for them with no research, no reading and no discussion of their real character or lack thereof. Ain't democracy grand?
ReplyDeleteThe following is an aged elders opinion. Most so called Partisan Politicians have become 2 sides of same coin when it comes down to the few core things that really matter. (2 faced flip-flop actors) Furthermore, in our democracy 51% can and do make slaves of the remaining 49% ! Because masses of damaged and hurting general public are involved, in the future what will happen is the polarity will intensify and there will be a more engaged fight/battle and the strongest will survive and their leaders will rule by fiat as always! History will be written by the victors and as wise old King SOLOMON stated back thousands of years ago, "there is nothing NEW under the sun." TRUTH has more power than any given government or bureaucracies so all we the people are waiting for (hope for) is a large majority of good people to reason and regulate and rule for good reasons instead of bad reasons. It all comes down to freewill and so unfortunately at this time most of our society and so called leaders are not getting much good work done. We have far too many imbedded and overpaid bureaucrats on the wrong side so right now we are in a very dangerous and bad place. It has become so bad in Canada and the USA and other modern countries that new masses of unelected bureaucrats are in control of most all important things and unless and until a very large majority of good people take over rule and regulations it's a world dumbing down and depopulation agenda effectively which only the top elite will really benefit from. COVID proved everything folks! but it will NOT stop there! unfortunately! because the masses of foolish and corrupt people by freewill and especially the masses of bureaucrats and so called officials are unwilling and or unable to learn real life's lessons . So unfortunately for all sides of all important issues, things will have to get worst before there is any chance of things getting better. True? false? or does not matter? has real genuine relevance and all our lives are at stake ! That is why it is so critical to understand that 51 % vs 49% /democracy is NOT good enough anymore when unelected and overpaid bureaucrats and bureaucracies of unelected have taken over most things important in all modern countries. So called Corporate-Government Partnerships and offshore LLC's and offshore NGO's (now legalized conspiracies against the people and or their property) must be exposed and REJECTED and legally eliminated for starters! Legally eliminating all the corrupt bureaucracies and the accompanying money drain must be next! Its either all about "the people" OR IT IS NOT! Will things remain the same or get better or worst? The people will decide sooner or later! and this is precisely the real problem. What I am going to do is one thing but what they (the rest of the billions) are going to do is everything.
