Comparing current administration results versus the last, significant differences can be seen in the view held by party leadership as to what they believe constituents will or will not accept, performance-wise.

When running for office, for example, it appears that those on the left campaign as if spoken words and promises made are simply props, to be used when and where needed with little regard for accuracy or truth. Conversely, ones on the right, seem to put more weight on verbiage, taking it far more seriously, fully expecting to be made to measure for what they utter or promise.

These differentials are generally fine as political styles concerning well-informed, experienced voters who typically understand that it is they that must sort out the facts for themselves. During campaigns for office, sophisticated voters have commonly come to accept candidate’s braggadocio, exaggeration, and “vows” to be part of the selling process, gathering no real expectation of future delivery as promised.

But what about the mass of humanity incapable, naïve or simply gullible enough to actually believe what’s being “sold” to them? When shopping for personal needs, they’ll attain satisfaction or not, dealing with purchases individually. However, when the unsophisticated are amassed together, such as in a national election, their “buying” choices also affect everyone else.

Abraham Lincoln put it this way: “You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” In today’s environment, that premise can be adapted to say, “you can fool enough of the people at a particular time to attain a specific purpose.” And that’s what was done by the Biden campaign. A massive number of people were sold a bill of goods either currently unavailable, unproducible or simply non-existent. Nonetheless, enough of them bought to “close the deal.”

Later on, when the time came for delivery of what Biden had sold to his gullible buyers, the truth emerged; there was nothing there at all. Which once again raises the critical question of how and where do we presently cancel the sale? Where do we return the items, in this case, the administration, that doesn’t work at all? And what do we do for the three coming years to overcome the fact that a self-admitted incompetent was purchased?

That’s it for today folks.

Adios
