58. A Most Righteous Rant

You say what I'm thinking. Anyone who thinks Trump, Cruz, et al. speak for them is blinded by someone else's agenda.

But you can't get people to see this.

You know all the the derision rightwingers have for the "everybody-gets-a-trophy" kids activities? That's how moderates treat politics:

"Now, now. Democrats and Republicans are just the same."

No. No they're not the same at all. They don't both get a trophy.

Or you have the dysfunctional 30% who hate everyone (frequent toxic denizens of news comment sections) and are probably just: evil-hearted because they get off on being evil/sick and in pain so they lash out/from horribly abusive backgrounds/addicted to Anger Porn aka FOX News or GodComplex Porn aka cultish church doctrine/living alone because no one can stand them.

Some people hate to realize they've been played for fools, and others care very, very deeply what their "tribe" thinks, so they will not say or do anything to not fit in, even if they're fitting in with misguided and uneducated rubes.

So we get apathetic or misled voters.

And the foxes guard the henhouse while pitting the beleaguered chickens against each other.
