Greetings good citizen, rather than attempt to parse the indefinable it may be more profitable to assess what we think/believe will/should happen.
Walking it backwards a few steps we have already determined that 'mis-communication' is responsible for the bulk of our 'disappointment' along with the admission that often our hearts desire isn't even on the ballot/up for debate in the first place so no matter what happens, we aren't going to 'win'.
However ALL 'doing' is fraught with expectation, actions are taken to achieve results (even if those results are negligible.)
It is at the intersection of expectation and reality that we achieve either success or disappointment. It is also here that we are able to separate the wise from the fools.
Fools expect too much while the wise accept the results and learn from them.
Take Preznint Pussygrabber. The fools expected (because they were told) almost magical transformations if the weak minded one won office but these same fools expected his opponent to come out as a lesbian if she won. [It's what the feeble minded are conditioned to believe is 'the liberal agenda'.]
Naturally, neither happened but we're talking fools here and a majority of the 'voting aged population' is no longer fooled or has unreasonable expectations about the effectiveness of voting for others to make decisions in your name without ever consulting you.
Closer to the mark is the 'child-like' among us are a tiny minority with many of them being addled by dementia. We KNOW the media is lying when they tell us 'Pussygrabber's Base' still supports him...truth of the matter is most of those thinking challenged voters believe Ronnie Reagan is still in the White House and we're (the US) is still locked in a Cold War with the now long defunct Soviets. [But Ronnie's already licked 'em once and he can do it again!]
Seriously good citizen how addled can you get?
So we are left with a 'truth challenged' leadership that controls a bullet-proof lie machine. If those reporters want to see their next paycheck, they'll report what they are told to report and keep their mouths shut. [Blacklists DO exist and the publishing world is now but a tiny fishbowl where everybody knows everybody else and they all co-operate to present the public with a 'singular view' of the world they want us to believe we live in.
Information control was pioneered by the Nazis and it didn't end when their defeat. Thus was Orwell's cautionary tale penned in 1948 and set in 1984.
The technological breakthroughs of the Whiz-bang era DEMAND that both government and the media undergo massive reforms in both scope and transparency.
Thus A Simple Plan. 'True' democracy, governed by the Human Anti-Exploitation Law which prohibits candy coating BS and putting it up for a vote. The press will report the truth and only the truth because nobody will be capable of 'buying' its silence nor will they be restricted by the false premise of 'keeping the peace' and other faux prohibitions against creating a panic...or pretending what they broadcast is 'science' when it's actually drama/entertainment.
Those responsible for a 'grounded, fact based media' will face serious consequences for misleading the public with 'info-tainment'.
There will still be thought provoking 'fantasy' but it will be clearly labeled as such!
Grumble all you like, if you can't convince an adjudicator that you have a legitimate reason for challenging content (beyond not liking it) You might get invited to take a long (one way) stroll in the wilderness without your clothes.
Ignorance is everywhere and nobody wants to invite exile because they didn't know better.
That said, every pain will be taken to insure NOBODY is exiled for holding an OPINION. Freedom truly is a thing of the mind. If you can't be free in your own head, you may as well be dead.
Yeah, there are a zillion ways to scupper freedom and few to insure it.
Thus will 'conflict' never end.
So much for 'expectations'!
Thanks once again for letting me inside your head. [Hey, when was the last time you cleaned this dump?]
