The haunting feeling

You know somehow you have been cheated, but you are not sure how. It is the feeling you get often when you buy a car or furniture. Working people who actually do hard work know they are abused, but just cannot figure out who is abusing them. That is where the game begins. People want a story that explains things.  Native Americans needed and explanation for how they got here.  Someone cooked up a creation story. The same thing happened with Christians, Africans, and every culture. 

There are two choices for who cheated the working people. It could be the rich, or the poor.  Working people inherently know they are cheated out of what they produce. Republicans have perfected the idea that the poor and the government are the problem for the working class. The government is helping the welfare cheats.  

That story which the Republicans have sold very successfully has a major flaw.  When someone takes something from you, they have that something. In this case the welfare cheats have nothing, but the real cheats have fancy homes, yachts, and jets.  Somehow according to the Republicans they wealthy magically got the stuff. Africa was colonized and foreign countries stole everything. The theft was pretty obvious.  You could not sell poor Africans on the idea that it was other Africans that stole the goods. In my Native West Virginia, it was out of state robber barons that stole the coal and sold it. That was pretty plain to see. One easy way to rob working people is to buy their government. Our government has been sold to the Koch brothers, and the rich donors to the Republican Party. 

Along comes Trump, the liar of all times.  Trump knows exactly what to tell the Hooples. Trump knows how to play on that deep down voice of resentment, racism, and stupidity. Trump knows mythology sells. Trump cooks up insane stories. Trump currently is saying he can end the war in Ukraine with two words. What are the words? Just like Trump's taxes you will never know the two words. 

This brings us to Frank, and Jeff B. Two typical Hoopleheads who want to believe in Santa Clause. Trump knows how to play these people. Then of course you have the Trump wannabee, Kari Lake, Ted Cruz, and all the suck ups that see the virtue of a good lie. 

Tonight Biden will give his speech. Like a typical whimp, Biden will not have the courage to hit the lying Republicans with the hammer of truth. Instead Biden will make the classic Democrat mistake of being polite. Hoopleheads so not respect polite. Hoopleheads love guns, and giving people the finger.  If you want respect from a Hooplehead you have to get down in the gutter with them. 

After Biden speaks there will be some Republican who will gin up the Hooples with a truckload of distortion. The Hooples will buy it like Indian Fry bread.  Biden needs to tell the world " I am just to old I want a young person to run against the cult".  Unfortunately Biden's head is swollen, and he things he can sit in the nursing home and run the country.
