Sunday Thoughts

One of the most powerful weapons in the regime’s arsenal is the false choice. They use their control of the media and the false opposition to present us with choices that serve their interests. You see it with the Ron DeSantis versus Trump narrative. The choice on offer is hate one or hate the other. That way, whoever wins will have alienated many potential supporters. It is a good way to distract critics from more important issues, as well as a way to sabotage the opposition.

The Left side of the regime does not care all that much, as they understand that too many states have been fortified for democracy now, but it is a fun distraction for them. The neocons, Conservatives Inc., and social media grifters, however, are deeply invested in this story. For them, this is a good way to pit various critics against one another. The internet grifters see it as a way to get attention, which is their primary reason to exist.

The reason the false choice works so well is it is hard to avoid being sucked into it. The Trump-bashers, in this example, are obnoxious and stupid. The DeSantis-bashers are the braindead types that show up at Trump rallies wearing the American flag. Depending upon your own hierarchy of intolerance, one will irritate you more than the other, so you get sucked into picking a side. Even when you know what is happening, the temptation is hard to resist.

I find myself especially irritated with the newly minted Trump-bashers like Pedro Gonzalez. I stopped reading his Twitter feed because I do not want to hate the guy. I do not want to hate DeSantis, who is a model governor. I want all GOP governors to look at him as an example of what you can do with power in your state. I do not want to see him turn into a neocon sock puppet in an effort to win the nomination and ultimately lose the general election.

Even knowing this, it is tough to avoid getting sucked into it. Probably the only way to avoid it is to tune it all out and wait for it to settle out on its own. That is probably more difficult than quitting smoking for most people, which speaks to the power of media. More people quit meth than quit consuming political media because meth is intoxicating and addictive. I be the space aliens running the simulation find this endlessly fascinating.
