Am I the only one here that knows that both parties work for the same elite and are given their own agendas to promote?
It's not that simple or that boring. Certainly there are big powers with big money controlling both parties. Even Trump, at his relatively small scale, confessed to giving money to both parties so he would get favors from whichever side won.
Trump is an interesting fellow. He's a great persuader and a great politician. He appears as a leader in everything he does. What's a leader? Someone who sees which way the crowd is heading, early enough to run around front and lead it using conventional proven methods. I often felt before and during his presidency that he was saying exactly what I was thinking.
(On the other extreme, someone who actually solves the problem like Tesla isn't a leader in his lifetime and may die alone. Whenever Tesla spoke, probably nobody understood what he was saying. Tesla was not a master of crowd control. Trump is.)
Those driving the agendas do it by incentivizing the rats to run around the maze in the way they want. We can all play this game but they have a bigger scale. Since the rats are you and me, some are hard to control. A guy like Trump is hard to control and has been able to break into pretty high levels. Like anyone he's interested in preserving #1.
In this case I think he went along with a plan that would have led "our movement" over the edge of a cliff. But we stopped short and separated ourselves. We're only 50% vaxed, not 90%. Pilots are doing organized actions. Many good people are probably willing to face the threat of dishonorable discharge over this issue, and if I were hiring I'd be looking for such people! A significant politician, Rand Paul, has already said with professional authority that natural immunity exists and is better than the vax. That politician might even run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.
It's now looking like we might win, so Trump reappears to "lead" us again. He thought long and hard about making that comment and probably felt he had no choice if he was to remain relevant. He says it even though he also said he got the vax, after having said as president that he had Covid and was treated with antibodies in Walter Reed, so now he risks being called inconsistent: why get the vax after having natural immunity already? (And isn't that a highly risky thing to do with the likelihood of immune overresponse to the vax? Did he really get the vax?) But it's definitely helpful to us. It feels like a lifeline.
