Yes it is. And that playbook has very slowly been incorporated into the American culture over time. Now, we have Leftist politicians, like Bernie Sanders who tries to offset the fact he's a Socialist by claiming he's a Democratic Socialist. A Socialist United States Senator elected into this Constitutional Democratic Republic! Sound like a conflict of interest? You bet.
And his airhead disciple? Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. Who has two degrees she bragged about when she was first elected into office unopposed. One in Economics. The other in International Studies.
Shortly after she was elected she was called on for interviews network after network. Because she was female and the youngest person elected to Congress her first time out.
Turns out those who interviewed her knew more about Economics than she did.
These two people are what make promises to the young voters of America that they won't have to work, they'll get a paycheck. Their "green new deal", plagiarized from a different Senator and reworded to hide that fact, plans to retrofit EVERY HOME IN AMERICA! To be environmentally friendly. Imagine that expense in itself. What? In the trillions?
Also what Sanders supporters don't realize is when he's talking about Socialism and his plans for America, he's talking about what we'll have to suffer through. US!
Not him! Not his peers! US!
That's why as he talks we're the working class hoping to stay employed during this Pandemic, and he's still a millionaire guaranteed job security for the rest of his life as an elected official empowered over us.
People buy their spiel because they've been led not to exercise critical thinking.
Like, Bernie Sanders, who boasts he honeymooned in Russia and their subway's were pristine and had chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Oh, fun. What about all the people the Russian government executed to make Russia look like its economy was working and before the Sanders arrived for their honeymoon? Any thoughts about that Bernie? *crickets*
Bernie! A Socialist, owns three homes and nets over 1 million dollars per year! When as a Senator he's paid in the low hundreds of thousands. Something like 170,000$.
But he makes a million?
No wonder when AOC pushed for a "cost of living pay raise" for the Congress Nancy Pelosi, forgetting she was on hot mic, tried to calm AOC down from that pursuit. AOC was the only member of Congress, Democrats or Republican, who was for that CoLPR. What did Nancy get caught saying to the clueless freshman? "That's not how we make our money!"
Now we know how Bernie and the rest net over 1 million per year.
Invest in Politics! Buy a Senator. Buy A Congressman. Buy a state Representative.
Remember when Trump was first running for the office? I loved his honesty. He said, as a private developer he donated huge money to both sides, Dem's and Republicans. They all know me. And when I need something to get done I pick up the phone and it gets done.
They hate Trump because he knows how they work.
I want to see a political cartoon featuring every member of Congress. In front is a cardboard sign like we see the poor unfortunate homeless holding. "WILL SELL OUT AMERICA FOR BIG CASH!INQUIRE WITHIN!"
That's the other reason they hate Trump. He can't be bought. He can't be intimidated. And he loves his country.
