Greetings good citizen, there is so much obsfuscation occurring in our 'info-tainment stream' that one can't tell which way the wind is blowing.
None of you need to be told that this is intentional. Maximizing confusion is extremely useful when greasing the skids for a major political upset...not that there's a nickel's worth of difference between Hillary and The Donald.
No irony should be lost that the guy that had everything handed to him on a silver platter (He inherited all that wealth and has lost a considerable chunk of it, not that there's any way to verify that although I doubt he'd be suffering the humiliation of becoming a 'public figure' because he's committed to the ideal of serving this soon to be 'great again' nation.
Nope, a republican riding a wave of populous politics (same thing that gave the Democrats a bad name in the 80's), achieving victory by running AGAINST EVERYTHING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY STANDS FOR!
At the risk of being a bore, I will state it again, 'We are neck-deep in STUPID around here!'
Hillary may or may not, [we won't know until after the coronation] adopt a plan to make college 'free' for 'deserving students' across the nation.
It is unlikely she will support universal free higher education just as she has committed to not supporting single payer healthcare.
Just as The Donald has NO INTENTION of reining in the existing Free Trade Agreements he regularly rails against and will [if ordered to] pass legislation commiting the nation to the TTP and it's evil twin, the partnership of too many T's.
Which is to say NOBODY expects ANYTHING to change given the choices we've been TOLD the rest of the nation is making.
The media can lie to us all it wants because there isn't a blessed thing we can do about it.
Well, you COULD 'pray' but there have been thousands of years of earnest pleading and zero results to date, it ain't looking good.
Which brings us to yet another axiom, you can't make informed decisions without accurate information [AND an IQ sufficient to process that information. STUPID can't make good decisions even if you color code the right answers!]
I know I tread upon perilous ground but I believe a segment of the population is tired of living with decisions made by the terminally stupid.
The 'short-sightedness' of the 'we got this' crowd is poised to throw our species off the cliff and they don't even realize the danger. [Nevermind 'care'. Faulkner spoke true, The Rich truly aren't like you or I; 'caring' is beneath them.]
They want what they want and damn the consequences!
Up to and including they could install someone from 'left field' [a hereforeto virtual unknown] into the race and tell us that candidate won by a landslide and we'd have NO WAY TO VERIFY that information!
Which is to point out that 'thinking outside the box' does you zero good if you're the one INSIDE THE BOX!
While I didn't start this post with the idea of advocating for 'testing' to verify someone was smart enough to vote, I'm warming up to the idea as I roll it over in my mind.
Not that IQ testing can't be 'fixed', you can even rig it to sort for stupid!
So the 'answer' to that problem would be ending 'secret ballots'. Total transparency. EVERYBODY would know how YOU voted the instant you did it.
Is there 'danger' in this? There sure is. Not only are we 'tribal' but we also have characteristics of 'herd behavior'. We tend to vote for what 'everybody else' voted for regardless of our own feelings, something the IQ test would be intended to address because this herd behavior is more prevalent among the 'less intelligent'.
Smart people think for themselves and can defend their decisions. Not so smart people, not so much.
One of the true 'tell-tales' that divide the stupid from the intelligent is the equation of confusing wealth with intelligence.
If you believe 'rich people' are smart, YOU'RE AN IDIOT!
Yeah, that's gonna leave a mark!
Worse, I'm off the original track and had intended to keep this brief considering it's the weekend!
I once again belabor the obvious when I point out the powerlessness of the individual. We all must accept the 'perceived will' of the majority, even when that majority consists of that tiny minority which commands the world's economic heights.
Confused? Well, its probably because that's just what they want you to be. 'They' [the infamous they the conservo-whackos refuse to believe exist if you can't provide their name, rank and serial number.] ARE 'in league' with each other because they understand the value of unity...as well as that of 'divide and conquer'.
The group is tiny and they know each other VERY WELL...which is why the outcomes we observe are SO disproportionate!
Calling them 'the One Percent' is off by a factor of 100! Even one tenth of one percent is off by an order of magnitude that is impossible to measure.
Which is to say the 'fog' is so thick it is possible that one of them is now a 'Trillionaire'. [depending on what 'yardstick' one uses.]
How bizarre is it that pointing to confusion can be so confusing? Hopefully you appreciate my main point, the confusion is intentional!
Now I'm off to do what needs doing while you ponder whether or not you'll be allowed to vote in the not too distant future.
Shouldn't say that because those who confuse wealth with intelligence are just who the current powerbrokers want in the voting booth, hiding from what everybody else is voting for.
Thank you for letting me inside your head,
