“Knowing that, wouldn’t thinking people just observe that event and say...”
Yeah, they might, but “thinking” people are not but a scant minority among the mouth-breathing, shiny-object-chasing masses.
Beckel is a News Cartel insider. If a Surprise is being staged then it is being planned and organized within a conjunction of our slavemasters in the billionaire club, the DNC and the Big News propagandist leadership.
If something is really being concocted Beckel may have heard of it through his rumor web or may have been intentionally tipped to put a scare in the Gutless Old Party brass.
Guess we will see in a few weeks.
Yeah, I guess I was posing more of a rhetorical question. I understand that this stuff works. It would be nice, though, if people on the national level would get up and address the Surprise one it happens: that our “leaders” are breaking scandals on their opponents or causing genuine crises purely in the interest of their own job/power security. And it’s even really worse than that: it shows contempt for the people. As you point out, a lot of the people are deserving of that contempt, and the manipulators have judged them correctly. It’s just that the rest of us have to pay the price for it too.
