Sorry. The leaders that I try to elect and support are definitely not nuts. They are true public servants. Unfortunately, the majority of people have been conditioned by MSM to ignore them. If everyone in the room is lying, then the person telling the truth must also be lying, right? The establishment has created this artificial and imaginary political antithesis, between two imaginary opposing political ideologies. Trying to maintain a false-belief narrative that there are only two viable parties to be trusted(like in Australia).
Why would anyone vote for a leader with a lifelong history of stealing cheating, womanizing, and exploiting the law? Yet over 50% of people did(Trump)! So, integrity and honesty are clearly NOT the most important virtues people look for in their leaders.
Logically, people should vote for a leader who is young, respected, credible, and honest. A leader with at least some military and political experience. A leader with an air of gravitas, and can have a positive influence on other leaders. A leader with workable policies that affect main street more than wall street. A leader with a verifiable record of positive leadership and results. Unfortunately, these good leadership traits, are distrusted and ignored by the majority of people. Because, most people are lazy, ignorant, and will see and hear only what they want. Or, what they are told!
People care more about dirt and wealth. Audacity and ignorance. Image and persona. Or, religion and gender. Honesty and truthfulness, are traits that are dismissed in favor of a good story! Why else do we keep electing the same people, who keep promising us the same things every 4 years? Why else do we keep ignoring anyone who can actually give us what we want? People like me, just don't understand why we keep making the same mistakes every 4 years. Why has only 1 independent POTUS(Washington), and 1 progressive POTUS(T. Roosevelt) ever been elected? Why do 3rd party candidates only make up less than 5% of Congress? Maybe, I'm just very critical of the MSM, and all major party biased propaganda and soundbites. Maybe, I just look beyond the media hype and their manufactured narratives. Especially, since they are only competing for the biggest share of the audience.
I remember a leader with all of these qualities, who said that she would use the trillions of dollars earmarked for supporting endless wars, and use it to address the urgent social issues at home. She was immediately branded by the establishment as a "socialist", a Russian spy, a cultist, and a dictator lover. People simply believed what they were being told, and let their last hope for change get away. The media simply manufactures the narrative and the caricatures for all public leaders. They make sure that the truth you know about these public leaders, are vetted, packaged, edited and spun, long before it ever reaches your brain.
