I Am Tired of 'Leaders' Who Hate Me
Hot Air ^ | 4 Nov 2024 | David Strom

This may be the estrogen vs. testosterone election when it comes to competing messages and voting blocs, but the voters are divided between those who want technocrats to run the world and those who still believe that our government should represent the will of the voters.

Lots of issues are driving people to the polls--the economy and immigration on one side, abortion and "democracy" on the other.

But except for abortion--an issue with absolutely unique power to mobilize some people--the election is really a referendum about whether experts should run things or people.

"Experts" and the "transnational elite," for my purposes, amount to the same thing. These are the people who create the Narrative™ that can convince people that masks work, that schools should be close, that experimental vaccines should be universally mandated, and that bureaucrats should run the world.

They are the people who will look a mother who can't afford groceries or pay her rent in the eye and insist that the economy is excellent. They tell us the border is secure, that crime is down, and that the evidence before our eyes is wrong because they have statistics that we should believe instead of experience.

Those "experts" hate us, because we don't believe them.

The political class hates us and they are busy importing millions of people who will be more compliant.

I want a government that is too small to have either the resources or the time to stage a five hour raid over a pet squirrel.

I think those "experts" lie to us because they hate us and think we are stupid.

A little late in the game.
But, your comment would have made a great meme or bumper sticker.

Very good summary. The old Media have been on the side of the "experts" for decades.

Yup, it’s the FIRST thing I look for when I watch a video of a famous person. Usually their left eye will show the snake-eye first, then the teeth get pointy, like a snake. Sometimes their skin will even change too, like lizard skin.

The unblinking camera sees all, even as our eyes lie to us.
