Thoughts
of the day
The question is: Why do people want more conservatism?
I would imagine the reasons for more conservatism are different and may be
reliant on culture and history. A European country may want more because
historically having a strong leader with a fixed philosophy has been a
stabilizing factor even though freedoms were curtailed and more regulated. The
USA may want more conservatism due to its core religious beliefs such as its
position on abortion or laws that are more closely related to gospel teachings
such as nudity and sexual behavior out of marriage and also to freedoms in the
Constitution such as the 2nd amendment which I have always believed were full
of manipulated and brainwashed definitions. Laws follow history and culture and
depending on who controls the politics they either become more liberal and
flexible, which is why you might have environmental protections, or they become
more restricted and more pro-business which is why environmental laws are
stricken down. Culture and history, topics most people are ignorant about.
I may be foolish, probably am, but I believe if you ever got Trump into a
one on one to debate the meaning of socialism, the varied philosophical
differences of different governmental systems such as communism vs social
democracy, etc. that you'd be able show his ignorance and inability to
communicate and this his entire approach; to lie and misconceive, manipulate
and brainwash and that it can easily be communicated as to why social democracy
works and what the differences are to capitalism.
It's simple. As an example: universities in USA are very expensive because money is more
important than people. They are relatively free or cost almost nothing in
Europe because people are more important than money.
But politicians, even well-meaning ones are playing Trump's game rather
than their own which is why they'll lose.
I'll tell you something else. I am not an historian or
a professor of politics and government or a researcher but what I think is that
everyone facing Trump now and in 2016 were afraid to lose while the entire time
Trump was afraid to win. When you are afraid to lose you act one way, often
defensive and careful. When you are afraid to win, your subconsciousness might
make you feel one way and say things other ways because inside you are deeply
conflicted and often what comes out are random thoughts that are full of who
you really are, such as someone who curses even though they know they are in a
place where cursing is abnormal or shows their true beliefs such as racism;
your behavior has no logic and is inappropriate. The consequence is that it can
be defined as "speaking your mind, not being politically correct"
therefore appealing to many people as genuine and yet, what it really is, is
hiding and covering up for your deficiencies. But the opposition is too unsure
and do not attack you because they then help you to become the victim and you
then become the underdog. People like underdogs. I believe that is what
happened in 2016 plus that when you lie to people about things that address
their real concerns, so they tend to want to believe you because no one else in
the past has and so they vote for you. The combination of the above is what
helped Trump win. Think about the fact that he had no policies, does not
understand government or world politics, was a terrible business person as he
went into bankruptcy many times, lied and bullied his way through the system
and became rich through these means, does not read very much or understand deep
intellectual thought, has no real charisma based on charm or personality or
good looks or finesse with language and is generally disliked by most people
who meet him so how did a guy like that win-see the above.
