Politics –
Ignorance Of The American Voter

These days, it seems as if ignorance is ruling all of politics — and the American voter.

Politics
Take for instance how many people have convinced themselves that just because Donald Trump is a businessman, he can magically get things done if elected president. Unfortunately, it just goes to show how misguided the masses are when it comes to politics and how government actually works.

A president can not do whatever he wants. If that were possible, ObamaCare would have been the law of the land on DAY ONE — but it wasn’t. Apparently, a lot of people were asleep in high school history class when teachers explained the 3 branches of government: Executive (President), Legislative (Congress) and Judicial (Supreme Court), which have to answer to each other. A president must introduce a bill. Congress has to pass the bill for it to become a law, then the Supreme Court has to uphold the laws they are given.

Donald Trump is a private businessman who’s spending his own money on his own campaign, so he’s used to doing whatever he wants. But IF he were elected president, he couldn’t do that anymore — he’d have to involve the other branches of government and ask permission to spend America’s money. Well, he’s never had to ask permission for anything in his life. So when he goes around barking about how he’s going to make Mexico pay for a wall, or how he will stop Muslims from entering the U.S., it’s all just BS talk meant to stir up those who have succumbed to ignorance and don’t know any better. He can’t do anything until he convinces Congress to pass a bill and make it a law. Just ask Obama how that goes.

Such misinformation and lack of correctness has fueled a certain ignorance among today’s voter. Sadly, people will believe anything and accept everything, simply because they just don’t know any better.

Politics
A prime example came from Donald Trump late last week, when he announced to the world: “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.”  It’s despicable that a major party candidate vying to become President of the United States would dare say such a thing.  It’s even worse when the words are true!

Donald Trump supporters are somewhat reminiscent of those who once followed cult leader Rev. Jim Jones: they drank the kool-aid and now believe their leader can do no wrong. Trump has proven this theory time and again by saying the most barbaric and outlandish things, all without recourse.  In fact, the more wild his words, the greater his support has seemed to grow.

Last week, Trump promoted a photo that originated from a neo-Nazi Twitter account, then posted a campaign video mistaking Soviet soldiers (complete with foreign medals) for U.S. military veterans — and nobody blinked. So, who’s to say if Trump actually shot someone, his supporters would bother to bat an eye?

I don’t blame Trump for spouting such foolishness — I blame the voters for letting him get away with it by not holding his feet to the fire.  Imagine if during his 2008 run for the presidency, Barack Obama had said he could shoot someone and get away with it? Not only would he have lost voters, but he would have likely been handcuffed and thrown in jail.

Ahhh…such is the ignorance of the gullable American voter.
