“What adjective can be used for a nation who is consistently fooled, recurrently deceived by the crafty politicians? Goofy? Very light! Fool? Not enough! Brainless? Yes, that is the very adjective!”
~ Mehmet Murat ildan
I hesitate to write about any particular political gathering or event, but in this case, it is very instructive to do so, as the idiocy consumed by contradiction, and wrapped in hypocrisy, is just too obvious and pitiful to ignore. Yes, I am speaking about the ‘Libertarian’ Party invitation to have the narcissist, wannabe dictator, warmonger, and genocidal maniac supporting Trump, as its feature speaker at what they label as a ‘national convention.’ This immediately brings to mind the “two peas in a pod” syndrome, because at this stage of our existence, any who cannot understand that there is no difference in any slime residing in the political class, regardless of labels, is either ignorant beyond help, an idiot, or willingly complicit in evil rule.
Ah yes, this must be what I have heard referred to as the “big tent” crowd. This is where all the scum in politics band together, seeking a broad range of members, so as to enlarge their base; a tactic I might add that could only be effective (just for the politicians mind you) if the herd being courted has no ability whatsoever to think or reason at any level above that of an infant. I will have to be careful here, as I might be inclined to exhaust my use of idioms. Hmm; funny and interesting the root of this term.
Actually, expanding a base in this manner has nothing to do with honor, honesty, truth, morality, or integrity, and everything to do with money, deceit, deception, and trickery. It is completely hypocritical of course, but then do we not live in an era and in a country that lives and thrives on hypocrisy and lies? Lest I leave out any pertinent details, this so-called ‘libertarian convention’ is being addressed by those who are called (or have been called) democrats, republicans, ‘libertarians,’ independents, and others. They are all together as one big happy family; this the only aspect of truth in this entire fiasco, because that is the reality of politics. One big happy bunch of money-hungry, power-seeking, perversion-bound, thieving, wannabe rulers, whose only goal is that of self-appeasement, self-gratification, and some sort of phony ‘status-building’ egoism that begs attention.
Of course, RFK Jr. had to be thrown into the mix as well, just convoluting even more, the contradictory idiocy on display at this audacious circus of deception. You see, there are no real enemies in politics, because all work together to reach the same ends. The only fight among them is for positions of power, but ultimately, they all want the same thing, but just have to give the false impression that they are all different, and all seeking to help the lowly, helpless, and pathetic masses who certainly cannot survive without their masters.
This is not, mind you, an attempt to just pick on ‘libertarians,’ as all other politicians are scum as well, but ‘libertarians, especially those who support the ‘Libertarian” Party, those who claim to be freedom fighters while seeking to rule over all others, are even more hypocritical than their political partners in crime. They scream the loudest, politically speaking, about the notion of freedom and liberty, while seeking the same conclusions as all who would voluntarily choose to rule.
At one time in my life, actually many years ago ……….
