The longer these ridiculous lockdowns–which by the way seem to WORSEN the death counts, not reduce them–the more angry and petty and vindictive and mean most people will get. Husbands will abuse their wives; wives, their husbands. Parents children, children parents.
The Democrats have allied themselves with every form of meanness imaginable.
And I was pondering this yesterday. It literally seems to me that for a good 30-40 years most big city politicians, at least, seem to have been lying to the people they were asking to vote for them. They told inner city blacks, particularly, that they would take care of them, but never took care of them. Every election, the same lies.
Consider what sort of person is CAPABLE of doing such a thing, which involves hurting people for very selfish reasons of money and power. The allure of being the Top Dog is not hard to understand, nor is the enticement of all the money–licit and illicit–that comes from time in office. Most politicians of both parties quickly get rich in Congress. Bribes are illegal, but grossly overpaid speeches are not. Maybe they become board members of various corporations. Maybe they use their inside knowledge to get ahead of outside investors, and normally get away with it.
But all this depends, particularly for the Democrats, on lies. On the willingness to hurt ordinary people for purely personal gain. It really is a sort of gangsterism, and anyone who knows anything about REAL gangsters knows there is no honor among thieves. It’s Jimmy the Gent murdering his partners for money.
