The Elephant and the Ass

Presidential politics... are they going to save us this time?

If there’s one thing I’ve come to detest in life, it is election politics.  Especially on the national level.  In other words, “Presidential” (s)election politics.  It amazes me that the same people who readily admit that Washington DC is a huge mess, our government is completely out of control, our government is way too big (the payroll alone is now 1.4 TRILLION dollars a year!), our government has it’s nose and fingers in things that they have no right being involved in (medicine, the way another country manages itself, science, etc), and numerous other governmental issues will say, “this time, it’s all going to get fixed.” 

Seriously?  That’s impossible.  I hate to be a downer, but I will quote my late Grandmother who was still alive when Trump got (s)elected the first time, “If this guy thinks he’s going to go to Washington and change everything, he’s got another thing coming.”  And, she was right.  I wish she was still alive to be vindicated.   My grandmother and grandfather on my dad’s side worked for “the government” their entire lives.  If it wasn’t the federal government, it was state government.  They both retired from government jobs and I remember numerous horror stories from them about the corrupt system.  Like many others who choose “government” as a career, they thought they were making a difference.   My Grandfather retired from the Pentagon so he had a lot of the “inside scoop,” and none of it (that he could share) was good.  Mind you, this was over 40 years ago when the government monstrosity wasn’t anything like it is now. 

Am I telling people not to vote for “their guy”?  No.  Not at all.  If you really believe in a candidate, and you really believe they are going to be able to fix everything that has imploded our country… well, be my guest!  Vote for your guy.

Here’s where I get peeved.  None of the candidates running right now deserve our love, admiration, or worship.  Sorry.  None of them.  All of them have pretty much told us about the tyranny that is coming for us if they get (s)elected.  How have they told us, you ask?  They tell us by their records!  They tell us by the people they are in bed with (businesses, CIA, billionaires, WEF members, etc). All I ask people is that they be willing to reach back into their memories just a little bit.  Be willing to read just a few articles.  Do just a bit of research before you think a person who will be “in charge” of 350 million people, and a government as bloated as the U.S. government, is going to “save America.” 

All of them are war mongers.  All of them love the surveillance state.  None of them have done anything to shrink the size and scope of government.  All of them support the “public health” system.  All of them have said they plan to do the same thing that was done 4 years ago in one form or another if faced with a “pandemic” (only “better” this time).  All of them are controlled.  All of them.  There’s no such thing as an independent candidate who is their “own person.”  Even if there was, they still must answer to the monstrosity that has been set up in our country posing as a “government”.  The biggest, most tyrannical government in world history.  And (again), sorry, that is a fact.   For us to believe that someone is going to wave their magic pen and reverse over 100 years of corruption and pure evil… well, that’s foolish.

Presidential politics only serves to divide us!  And it’s done on purpose.  I’m baffled why people cannot see this, especially after the division that was purposely created in 2020 between the masked and the unmasked, the “vaxxed” and the “unvaxxed”, those who wanted to be locked in their homes and those who didn’t, and the list goes on.  We finally had a front row seat to the *ways* they try to divide us.  Have we already forgotten that lesson?

I am always preaching independence.   Personal, Familial, and Neighborhood Independence.  We absolutely do *not* need a great leader in charge of everything we do.  We really don’t.  Why do we think that somehow a person in a cesspool (DC) is going to be able to effectively do *anything* that will improve our lives?  Improvement is our responsibility.  For much too long now we have done our “civic duty” and voted for an R or a D and expected this person to magically cure all that ails us.  I know, personally, that in my 60 years on this planet I have *never* seen us gain any more liberty regardless of who is (s)elected to the White House.  What makes us think that this time it will be different?  Why is it that people in their 60’s, 70’s and even 80’s and 90’s who have voted their entire lives and have seen the exact same thing I have *still* believe that this time it will make a difference?

Don’t get me wrong.  I believe a President can set a tone for a nation.  In fact, if we look in the Old Testament of the Bible we can clearly see “Good” kings and “Evil” kings.  People who were able to either hurt or help a nation depending on their policies.  Typically, the policies had to do with morality.  The “good” kings realized the only way to fix the nation was to make morality a priority again. 

No one running for President is willing to mention America’s moral bankruptcy.  In fact, most of them are all doubling down on immorality.  Some of them doubling down on immorality while claiming to “know” “god”.  

It’s my opinion (and has been for many years now) that until Americans are wiling to stop the madness.  Stop going along with whatever pop culture tells them is “acceptable.”  Stop “going along to get along” with things we know are not right.  Stop sacrificing our children in the name of convenience or for our own selfish needs (like in 2020 when we were told that children were little disease factories).  Stop accepting and supporting organizations and entertainment that produces some of the most vulgar garbage that’s ever been created.   I mean… just stop!  If we are not willing to put away our toys for a season.  If we aren’t willing to begin standing up for ourselves and our families.  Well, we deserve what we get, and it won’t matter who is in the White House. 

So, yeah, if you feel strongly that being involved in presidential politics is important.  If you really believe the division, hatred and all the other stuff that goes along with them is worth it… then, by all means, participate.  But don’t expect every single person needs to “pick a side” in this madness.  There is no side.  They are all the same snake eating their own tail. 

I mean no offense to any of you who have “chosen a side” in this insanity.   I respect where you are at. I was there one time in my life as well.  Just like other things in life, it sometimes takes something miraculous to change our minds about something.   I vow to each of you if, after this (s)election (and the subsequent 4 year term) I am wrong, and we don’t end up with more medical tyranny, more “pandemics”, Central Bank Digital Currencies tied to a “national ID” and/or “vaccine” “passport, more wars (or the same ones not stopped), more illegal immigration, more gun control, and a whole list of other things, I will gladly apologize to my readers for being wrong about it all.  Hint:  It would be the first time in my lifetime that we *didn’t* get more of all of that under whatever president was in office. 

It’s not easy, but each one of us can opt out of presidential politics.  They are a completely unnecessary part of our civic duty.  Take a peek at some comments from people like George Soros and others of his ilk who have meddled in our elections for decades now.  They are openly saying they must focus on capturing local elections.   If you want to focus your emotion and labor on politics of some kind, put that energy to use in your local and state elections.  Those are the only elections that can possibly make a difference in  our lives.
