Wag the dog

Sadly, the American people are so often fooled.

Magicians often use deception when performing tricks, watch over here while I slip something from my sleeve.

The audience falls for it every time.

Whenever something bad happens, and you don’t want people to focus on that, do something that will take their attention away. It’s like in the movie called Wag the Dog. Check it out sometime.

I recently watched a video of a guy explaining to his friend, How Trump could be ahead in the polls even after all the terrible things he has done, including the things he has been convicted of, as well as, the things he has been accused of doing.

The bottom line ended up being that people in general have somehow normalized his behavior.

They have downplayed the things he has said and done, and made excuses for his behavior and also deflected it by blaming the media and the opposing party.

They say that people have short memories, but 3 1/2 years ago, on January 7th – almost everyone that is now kissing his ass were saying he was the cause of the riot and insurrection. When those in the halls of Congress were being attacked, they were scared for their lives and spoke the truth for that short lived moment.

What changed their minds?

Once evil, always evil.

I think a 20 year old understood that, and that’s all the motivation he needed to try what he did.

Frankly, the story about what and how this kid was able to do what he did – just doesn’t really add up.

If it really was because he was just lucky and somehow outsmarted the Secret Service and the rest of the law enforcement at the political rally, then there are some serious problems that have to be addressed within those organizations.

So many unanswered questions, and so much misinformation and conspiracy theories floating about.

It sure helps make Wag the Dog seem possible.

I’m guessing there will be a new Warren Commission created. Somebody has to get to the bottom of this. Right?

While in the meantime, the media will spend more time reporting on that, and less time reporting on other things that actually put him in a worse position.

Wag the Dog, at its core.

In the long run, we will be no better off than before – but, our attention and concerns will be focused elsewhere for a while.
