A gaggle of the electorate venerates the puerile. This is a problem.
Politicians talking about ‘gut feeling’ decision making and ‘telling it how it is’ gets a high five from certain constituencies. The expert is the new ‘elite’ trying to fool people by analysing information and data and making fact-based decisions. What a bloody outrage they cry as they are faced with the facts.
You can’t fool us cries the fool, little realising how much they have been fooled already.
Charlatan leaders and their enablers fooling the fools, being sold a pup of the sunny uplands of Unicorns and rainbows that exist only within the rarefied atmosphere of white rich (mega rich) male privilege. No pots of gold at the end of the rainbow for anyone else, only fool’s gold for the foolish that have fallen for the bombastic rhetoric of our leaders. This is a problem.
