It's called democracy. Moreover my analysis and reflection of the last 4 years where in I awakened and gained a sort of political consciousness after previously in my life having zero care for politics in any way is This is a particular evolution of democracy which I call Democratic theater and it relies on deceptive control of the population by the media and the intelligence and security apparatus to provide the illusion of freedom to prevent the need for delivering real results by keeping the population in a constant state of confusion and conflict by supporting both sides of an artificial divide to prolong the state of conflict I guess some of the beneficiaries of this are upwards who can benefit from the enhanced media appeal of this division but I think the primary beneficiary is the status quo and it's done to preserve power in a system where people expect to be free but are basically constrained but given this outlet which is a sort of cathartic entertainment, the purpose of which is to channel genuine to satisfaction into controlled avenues so that it never actually emerges as revolution or organized political action that has any chance of disrupting the status quo in a meaningful way I believe it's a form of controlled opposition where a cabal of intelligence security and media interests control both sides of the conflict and I believe these sort of mass phenomena are driven by masters of narrative control psychology sociology. I started off believing that Trump would do what he said and kind of save America and root out these shackles and the cabal of interest that keeps them in place but it seems he was just a charlatan who couldn't deliver and perhaps never intended to. I now believe it's likely that Trump was probably compromised by the very same cabal of interests who got him to dance to the tune they wanted as a puppet for 4 years as part of his great charade In essence all of this Democratic theater is more window dressing for business as usual. I'm happy to hear different opinions and to update my own perspective but I'm not going to debate this it simply the belief that I've arrived at at this time after many years of reflection and thought.

I am very interested to hear about this cabal that controls both Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell - how does that work? How did the ACA get passed in such an environment? How did the Trump Tax Cut get passed? NAFTA? The failure of the TPP? What about the provisions in the recent omnibus that contained all sorts of support for green energy? What are the mechanics of this system?

  Unfortunately he already said he is not going to debate this probably because it falls apart under any informed scrutiny.

    You can probably believe that if it makes it easier for you. I do not want things to be hard for you.

      It’s not a matter of belief. I’m reading the words you wrote, specifically your last paragraph. If your ideas hold up surely you’d be able to answer his fairly basic questions. But they don’t which is why you resort to asking for peoples email addresses and identities, as if that has any bearing on the merit of what you’re saying

        It's all belief. Nothing said contradicts my points. You're pretending it doesn't hold up, because that's easier than facing them. You have my statement. Rather than pretending it doesn't hold up, why not specifically address my statement and demonstrate to yourself how you believe it to be false.

        You are the one stating there is a real cabal, why don't you provide proof of who is in it, what they do, and how it works. Until you have that I'm not going to pretend that what you propose is the case. That which can be easily asserted without proof can be just as easily dismissed.
