Of course rigging elections are cheaper and more efficient. Just look at Chicago, New York, New Jersey, ad nauseum.

Everything I was brought up to believe in, is just a joke.

"Of course rigging elections are cheaper and more efficient. Just look at Chicago, New York, New Jersey, ad nauseum. "

And then there are always unaccountable, unauditable electronic voting machines.

"Everything I was brought up to believe in, is just a joke."

It's true. That's putting it mildly. Everyone's been duped, and everyone knows it. The best way to deal with it is to go ahead and realize that the joke was on us; and we've been fed a lot of BS.

Too often people, when they realize they've been duped, think they'll spare themselves some embarrassment if they don't admit it in public. So they go into denial. The most effective form of denial is to hide the pain of being duped behind blind loyalty to some leader - who they wish was all powerful.
