Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "Joe Manchin Goes FULL Republican Again | The Kyle Kulinski Show" video.
Very good description of at least 50% of the worlds democratically elected government officials. Its a disease not particular to any party but it is way more prevalent in the established parties. Its also why many of the worlds democracies are having serious institutional issues. These issues differ from country to country or state to state but once you strip back the particulars certain commonalities emerge. Narcissistic people who know how to get elected by preying on public anxieties are incredibly common. They use emotional rather than rational arguments and campaign issues. Most of all they understand that big bold simple messages work, while complex policies for everything don't. The mistake others make with them is NOT confronting their lies head on with blunt reality. Raphael Warnock should have confronted Herschel Walker with very simple statement. "You paid for abortions and you lied about it." "You abandoned your children and you lied about it." Be simple, be blunt, be direct. Its how the GOP win. Its how Machin and Sinema win.

@carltalley2389 I said "at least 50%" that actually means its more than that and possibly as high as 100%. The implication is that at beast they are in the majority. Because even 50.000000000000001% is a majority. Actually there's a giant misreading of the concept of the term Armageddon. Its NOT the end of the physical world. There's the well known line about the meek inheriting the Earth. Inheriting a lifeless rock isn't much inheritance for being good. Armageddon is actually a prediction that human politics must eventually fail because humans are fallible. The scary thing is that 99% of the people who want Armageddon are delusional maniacs. The only bits they read, hear or see are the bits that say there's a chosen who get to rule the world afterwards. They think they are those chosen totally ignoring that to be chosen means someone else is doing the choosing. Its what makes them so dangerous and scary they already think they've been chosen, granting them almost unlimited power over the rest of us.
