Overwhelmed by politics? Hopeless?
Just want to disengage & ignore it all?
That. Is. By. Design.
One of the tools of some political parties is to make it all so repellent that you stay home & turn away.
Then the voice & vote of their base is amplified while you remain silent.

They count on the average person to not want to be mired in the ugliness, & reasonable people don’t want to be!
Your exhaustion is the goal.
Another tool: accuse others of what they themselves are.
Another: to use the trappings, the words, of decency to describe corruption.

Now, I am speaking in generalities. I’m not saying any political party you know of is engaging in these things at all.
These are just a few theoretical musings.
Theoretically, they’ll serve up repellent ideas so that ideas just a little more acceptable suddenly seem reasonable.

This is just based on some casual historical research on political parties of the past.
It’s something to watch for if it ever happens in our lifetime.

One scandal is an outrage. 10 are a shock. 100 and it becomes normalized.
Add: paid commentators who don’t try to clarify but to throw more distraction and smoke on the fire until everything is just a haze.
If everything is an outrage, then nothing is.
Old time tactics.

In the old days they would intentionally put out really shocking bills and ideas to get people talking about them. Meanwhile they quietly got away with things under the radar.
They made money secretive so they could use public money to pay off friends & allies. Untraceable.

They also used secretive public money to pump into other elections: War Chests, kept in closed Rooms.
They declared poverty while sending unprecedented amounts of public $$$ out the doors, but not to the people. To THEIR people.
It’s astounding what they got away with back then

The more you really look into the past the more you see.
If it ever happens in modern times, at least we will know what to look for.
Did I mention they’d look for an enemy’s strength and then try to undermine it with doubt, innuendo, & lies?
They’d call regular ppl elites! Ha.
