Most of the demagogues or so called ‘ People’s Populists’ like Obama have always relied on the big machers ( as my Jewish heritage calls it) to get them across the finish line. Of course, once they get in power they make sure to give back to the Super Rich who bankrolled them and their party. Along with the slew of mega money needed is, as Goebbels said it best, emotion and action to lead the lemmings over the cliffs of reason. Look at the millions of usually decent Americans who keep falling for the bull excrement that the two parties pile their way. Just find a few hot button issues and the suckers will always do their bidding right up to the polling booth.
On the right wing side of the aisle the fear of illegals coming to rape your women and sell drugs to your kids. Or the murder of a fetus in the womb . Or the free ride given to ‘lazy’ poor blacks and browns out of our taxes. Another great gimmick is to stop the government from running our lives with mask and vaccine mandates . Funny how they make sure to never get into how the Military Industrial Empire is sucking up the majority of everyone’s tax money, or how corporate America rules the roost over the Mom and Pop Main Street. Of course, the Christian Fascist clique that has so much influence on their party hacks continues to restrict a woman’s right to choose and a gay person’s right to exist as the please.
On the Democratic side of the ledger they basically tell folks how they, the Democrats, are the ‘ People’s Party’. Meanwhile, they go along with most of the economic injustices that the corporate world gets away with. Add to that how it is the Democrats who are opening our federal purse to subsidize the immoral Israeli ethnic cleansing of Gaza. Of course, with the Orange Clown in power we would be seeing the same scenario. When will the jackass party begin to go back to what FDR did and take from the super rich and redistribute to us working stiffs and poor?
