As I said in a previous post, all the Republicans need to do is keep on talking to ensure that Democrats have the greatest chance to retain the White House. Below is a prime example of what I am taking about:
@RonFilipkowski
Jon Voight says Obama is committing a “war crime” by controlling “cackling hyena” Harris, the Left wants to steal your children & make them all trans, Trump is the messiah, & everyone who votes for Harris will commit the worst crime in human history and God will punish us. Weird.
As the saying goes, a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
The US political scene is a hot house of lies and conspiracy theories most of which are unrelated to true daily life.
ReplyDeleteWhilst we have always had some conspiracy theories around ; since Michael Moore's movie Fahrenheit 9/11 conspiracy has become the fall back response to many daily situations.
Critical thinking is becoming an obsolete virtue!

I do despair over the scarcity of thinking skills these days, TB. It's what the crazed right wing counts on.

Oh, of that there can be no doubt, lungta. He apparently is also able to know the mind of the deity.

ReplyDeleteI think you have more trust in the US population than I have.
At the moment the Republicans and the Democrats in the USA seem to have the same idiological/faith-based differences as Swift's "Little Endians" and "Big Endians".
Crazed statements by somebody called Jon Voight are incidental albeit helpful. Of course, having to google who he is may mean I don't understand his level of influence.
I'm not sure how much influence he now has, Anon, but he was once a well-respected actor. Perhaps he has always had the kind of views he expresses here, but maybe kept them to himself before Trump gave him licence to spew his peculiar madness.
DeleteI think you are right that there is a commonality in political parties, but what I like about the shape of the campaign as it is emerging is the strong messaging by the Democrats of a clear choice. People tend to often view things in binary terms, so they now have a clear choice being offered. Far too often in the past the messaging was muddled and subdued. Not this time, however.
All too often the rich and famous/infamous take it upon themselves to be the oracle of our times!
ReplyDeleteAll too often the masses just mop it up !
Celebrity trumps ( sorry) rational thinking.

I guess it takes a special kind of ego to pontificate like Voight, TB. In Trumpian circles, there is no shortage of self-important grifters.
