Welcome to the future. The future, as we know, will be televised. It will be about slogans, not facts. It will be about taking popular prejudices and using them as campaign platforms... until the campaign is over when they will all be destroyed as if they had never existed. It will be about standing for things you don't believe in because there are enough easily manipulated people who do. It will be about promising what you need to promise. And then denying you ever promised it at all. It will be about playing the game and winning the war. Of self interest. It will be about making it up as you go along. It will be about making extreme statements to divide people because better that than informed, moderate debate. The future is about numbers not being informed. Thinking is a failing in the future.
In the future we will take back control and have our country back. So we will inspire teenagers on buses to tell Pakistani ladies to get off the bus. We will embolden people to daub racist slogans on buildings and put racist messages through letter boxes and on car windshields. We will enable people to have the courage to tell their foreign doctor to "go home" even as their medical complaints are treated (and even though they were born in the same country as you anyway). The future is not about keeping everybody happy, safe and prosperous. Its about control. Its about ownership. Which side are you on in the future, suckah?
Welcome to the future.
This future is brought to you by corporate slush funds, institutionalized greed and venal self-serving hypocrites.
PS Take Back Control. Make Our Country Great Again. Have A Nice Day.
Yes your first part could directly apply to Obama's lies.Most UNtransparent president of all time.Set America back a decade,all because of white guilt over black people. I however was truthful to our creed-that all men should be treated equal,and have no guilt.Most people will take the easiest way and are cowards when push comes to shove. Believe and fear not.
