Many Americans don’t feel safe. They are manipulated constantly by politicians who tell them they should be very afraid and that only the politician if elected can safe them.
This is a cruel game used to manipulate voters. Only when we feel safe can we turn our attention from the described threats and work together to create a better world.
People when they are scared are often not accurate in assessing real threats. What we are told to be scared of distracts our attention from what really matters.
This political game of “Be afraid and only I only I can save you” is very effective in manipulating groups of people and “spooking the herd.” This game is played not only by politicians but also constantly by the media.
“They’re eating the dogs! They’re eating the cats!” got Trump and Vance elected. Americans have been played as chumps.
It’s time for Americans to grow up and stop reacting to the imaginary monsters politicians have told them are under their beds. How does the American voter grow up and develop a more adult understanding of the world? It takes two things: correct information and emotional support.
Who can Americans trust? What is accurate and true? Who is honest and competent at threat assessment, and threat management preparedness? Who can you believe?
In future articles, MarkhamsSlowNews is dedicated to sharing the truth and referring the reader to accurate sources of information and ideas about how to obtain emotional support based on equity, justice, and compassion.
Capitalism thrives are scarcity. Americans are encouraged to want more and more and more. That's what advertising is all about: to make people feel deprived so they will buy the product or service being sold.
