THIS is what I mean by a REAL Presidential campaign
THIS might be the most dangerous article you’ve ever read, he said, knowing no one would believe him—until they read the article ALL THE WAY THROUGH
The parade of our Presidents—crooks, con artists, and weaklings; I’m now a Presidential historian, but without the bullshit and the boredom…and a severed head is rolling down the street…
Let’s start here: I’m not impressed. Let’s begin with Lyndon Johnson. We had Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama, Trump, Biden. Right? Did I leave anyone out? Hey, I’m not getting an endowed chair at Harvard and Pulitzers for my work as a Presidential historian. When I see real cash, I’ll consult Wikipedia and make sure my lineup of Presidents is correct.
As I survey this parade of Presidents, here’s what I see IN EVERY CASE. The federal government fungus got bigger. It pressed harder on the population. The Welfare State got bigger. Poverty increased. The all-important Constitutional powers of the states diminished. The federal budget and the debt kept ballooning. Criminal government-corporate partnerships expanded. The purchasing power of the dollar shrank. Government surveillance widened and deepened. New special privileged government-backed groups sprang up. Illegal immigration increased. The Founders’ concept of a Constitutional Republic kept fading. The number of preposterous scumbag Leftist socialist permanent federal bureaucracy employees grew. Government-funded and backed medical fascism grew. Crime grew.
NONE of those Presidents stopped and reversed ANY of that.
Where’s my Pulitzer?
You could have thrown the cascade of all the promises those Presidents made in the garbage.
Not one REAL pair of balls among them.
That’s called a clue.
It’s a clue pointing to the ridiculousness of Presidential elections, regardless of whether the vote count was rigged.
This is why I’ve been proposing a radical shift in the design of Presidential campaigns. Let’s can the shit-show.
Let’s use the fact that the public is fascinated and entranced by these campaigns and give them something to think about. Like heavy punches to the mid-section. Like blows to the head.
Like many candidates—each one campaigning on a single vital issue—exposing that issue down to the bone and the bone marrow.
Like Ben Carson, retired neurosurgeon, going coast to coast and live stream day after day, week after week, for 200 straight days, describing, in great detail, step by step, every single cut in the procedure by which the testicles and penis of a boy are lopped off in the operating room, and a fake vagina and clitoris are installed.
Ben isn’t trying to win the Oval Office so he can pretend to roll back the criminal structure of the federal government. He’s shooting shells at the minds of 300 million Americans.
“Now here is video footage of the surgery. Watch how the surgeon cuts off the boy’s testicles. Here he goes. His knife is very sharp…”
For those of you who have active imaginations, find your own candidates and their single issues that add up to a RELENTLESS REVOLUTIONARY ATTACK ON THE PUBLIC MIND.
That’s the kind of Presidential historian I am. I look to the present and the future. My premise is: We’re fucked. So let’s unfuck ourselves.
A single-issue candidate should ask himself: Is the WAY I’m going to expose my issue (BLM, immigration, fentanyl, out of control crime, whatever) as SHOCKING as the issue actually is in real life?
Am I opting for generalized pussified language that’ll put people to sleep, or am I going to send bolts of electricity up their spines?
IT’S ALL IN HOW YOU DO IT.
That’s the secret sauce.
On the level of JOLT I’m talking about, 99.999999 of the population is fast asleep. They haven’t been hit with lightning bolts. Lightning bolts are exactly what they need.
They don’t need “climate change is a reality but it shouldn’t be used to punish people with energy quotas…” That’s what you listen to if you have insomnia and you need a few hours of shut eye.
They need: “Today I’m going to show you the battered dead body of a young girl who was tortured by the Mexican cartels because her older brother refused to pay the cartel to bring him up across the border into the US. By the way, here is the brother’s head, hacked from his body. Look at it. Look at it again. Now let’s go to photos of his dead little sister. Notice the deep lacerations here and here across her spine and her missing eye…”
—Oh, you can’t do THAT, sir candidate! That’s horrible! That’s too…GRAPHIC. And you didn’t even put a WARNING on the screen before you started talking about it…”
Bullshit. EXPOSING the truth DIRECTLY isn’t graphic. You know what’s graphic? The ACTUAL beheading and the ACTUAL torture of the young girl.
Any Presidential candidate who can’t go to the heart of an issue in this way, and any member of the public who can’t deal with the heart of an issue in this way…shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a Presidential campaign.
Now imagine just 10 relentless Presidential candidates—each with a different single issue—exposing it IN THIS WAY, going coast to coast and going live stream day after day for 200 straight days.
THAT’S a Presidential campaign.
That’s a tornado.
That pushes all the high-flying bullshit rhetoric of these campaigns off the table and into the garbage can. Bye bye.
That pushes into the garbage can all the bullshit about unity and bridging the great divide and coming together and all the promises that’ll never come true.
How you do think those intellectual shit-for-brains reporters at the New York Times are going to make out, as they cover THIS IS WHAT MR. BIDEN SAID AT HIS CAMPAIGN STOP TODAY and THIS IS WHAT HILLARY CLINTON SAID ABOUT WHAT MR. BIDEN SAID, next to:
AND HERE IS THAT YOUNG BOY’S HEAD ROLLING DOWN THE STREET AFTER A SINALOA ANIMAL CUT IT OFF.
Day after day after day on live stream, that head rolling down the street.
The truth.
THEN people will come awake.
THEN unprecedented things will start to happen.
You’ve heard the jive slogan of the Left, “Inspire Change”?
Well, THEN you’ll see change.
The rolling head will do it.
Reality will do it.
The people of this country will react, and react in a way that builds into a tidal wave of OUTRAGE.
THEN let the babbling politicians and the Presidential candidates try to ignore the people.
THEN let the candidates stand there at their podiums and orate and spout bad poetry as the gigantic tsunami of shit is hitting the gigantic fan.
THAT’S a Presidential campaign.
