“Most Important Election”: A Trumpism and the Truth About Democracy
Trumpism of the Day
“Democrats are registering Illegal Voters by the TENS OF THOUSANDS, as we speak – They will be voting in the 2024 Presidential Election, and they shouldn’t be allowed to. Only American Citizens should be voting in our Most Important Election in History, or any Election!” – Truth Social, September 18, 2024 [Link]
So, if Trump doesn’t win the upcoming election, we know what his excuse is going to be! “The Democrats registered ILLEGAL VOTERS!!!” Ronald Chump is setting up for an eventuality where he doesn’t win! And if he does win, he’ll just say something like, “Even with the Democrats registering thousands of illegal voters, I STILL won! Democrats are losers!”
He’s transparent as a pane of glass. What a loser! Forget Chump – he will do nothing to end predatory capitalism and the alienation you feel. He is part of the enemy of the people – the super rich.
Think about it – how did “draining the swamp” go last time? It didn’t change a thing about America! Wake up! Donald Trump is not your messiah!! He seeks only to enrich himself and inflate his own ego! Being able to say you were once the president is something not many people can say!
Of course, being able to say you were the only former president convicted of a felony isn’t something anyone else can say!! But Trump will always deny that those rulings were valid. Why wouldn’t he? He’s powerful enough that he can literally invent his own truth and people will believe it. They say history is written by the victors – well, right now is written by the powers-that-be. The narrative is controlled to every extent possible. That’s what modern democratic politics is – your success as a candidate is defined as how well you are able to control the message.
It’s because of this nature of democracy – namely, that it’s a popularity contest – that makes it so bad at giving power to good leaders. Think about it. Someone who has the most amazing and best ideas will always be beaten by someone with inferior ideas who can nevertheless control the message better! Isn’t that insane?? Shouldn’t we demand better? Democracy is a swindle, a scam. Only rich people can afford to campaign. Democracy is simply yet another means of plutocracy – rule by the rich – but one that gives people the illusion of control.
Democracy turns politics into a game of rhetoric. Rhetoric is the art of persuasion. All rhetoric necessarily presents an incomplete picture, and what wins rhetorically is not always reflective of the reality – in fact, it rarely is. Trump became president in 2016 because, having been in the media for years, he’s excellent at presenting the rhetoric that will help him. His job as an electoral candidate is not to inform you – it’s to make you vote for him. Political candidates are inherently untrustworthy. Isn’t that ridiculous? Shouldn’t it in fact be the opposite – shouldn’t the candidate who tells the most truth be granted office??
Trump can win in a democracy because he’s good at deluding people. But in a meritocracy, where merit is the strict and only criterion of achievement and power, Trump would be an absolute nobody because he has no talent except for exploitative, predatory business.
Let’s be under no illusions: any political system that permits psychopaths to be in power is completely and utterly unfit and corrupt. We cannot expect a good world to emerge from such systems. Democracy has proven itself a bad system.
When Trump talks of the “most important election”, that has absolutely no bearing on reality. It’s all part of his campaign rhetoric. Rhetoric is always designed to be unfair. If you want to be able to decode and unravel any form of rhetoric, all you have to do is look at what it doesn’t mention. Rhetorically, it’s suicide to mention something that isn’t in your favor. All unfavorable facts get dismissed or, oftentimes, completely ignored. Rhetoric only addresses an unfavorable fact when said fact has become too prevalent to ignore.
Once you understand the nature of rhetoric, you understand that this entire democratic, political game is designed specifically not to tell you the truth. And how can leaders who strategically omit the truth or even lie be allowed to run a country?!
Reject all democratic leaders!
The true politics has yet to surface!
They’re ALL lying to you! Don’t you see it? Their incentive is in lying to you, and that doesn’t change when they get into office! Once a liar, always a liar. The world needs new leaders who will not compromise on truth, who have proven themselves worthy of leadership. Meritocracy – rule by the most meritorious – is the only fair system. Advocate for a meritocracy! DEMAND a meritocracy! It’s what you deserve.
One must not embellish democracy – it has only furthered all the ills of society. It has only led to increases in wealth disparity between classes. It has only increased the poverty of the poorest people.
Democracy ain’t your salvation. Demand better. Demand rule by the best. Demand a meritocracy. Settle for nothing less.
The super rich psychopaths have been allowed to rule the world for too long. Demand that psychopaths be necessarily relegated to the bottom of society, where they can do no harm – not the top, where they can do maximum harm.
Your attitude to political systems boils down to this: do you think the most successful rhetorician should be in power, or do you think the smartest person should be in power? If it’s the former, then you are a democrat, and you’re ultimately only securing the power of the super rich. If it’s the latter, then you are a meritocrat, not a democrat, and you should be campaigning for a meritocracy.
Those are the only two valid political games today. Monarchy has proven itself monstrous, and anarchy is totally ineffective. You must choose between democracy and meritocracy. Which one?
Democracy is inherently erroneous since it awards power to the people who are best at rhetoric, and those who are best at rhetoric are not necessarily the best at running a country.
Why is this so difficult for the messianic Chumpists to understand? Because they are steeped in the traditions of the past. They cannot understand the future.
Messianic Chumpism
Messianic Chumpism entails the assertion that Donald Trump is the savior of America. In fact, far from being its savior, Trump is every bit as problematic as any other billionaire. Trump will never tell you the truth that billionaires are the problem – because to do so would be to condemn himself! That’s why he always focuses on other issues like immigrants or the Democrats. None of which are actually destroying America!!
