Donald Trump said one thing to get elected and then, once elected, did the other.
The fact that people are surprised is, in itself, the surprising part.
Hasn’t that been the history of democracy and politics since it was created?
Democracy is one of the most bizarre systems ever created, to begin with. Here is how you would explain it to a newbie:
So, what is democracy?
It is a way of changing politicians.
What are politicians?
They are people who want to control and rule others.
Why would people want someone to control and rule them?
I have no idea.
So, how does it work?
Well, a few people usually make a bunch of promises as to what they will do if they are elected and then people decide whose promises they like best.
Why promises? Can’t they contractually agree to do something?
They could, but they just make promises instead.
And once they win do they keep their promises?
No, almost never.
So, why do people go through this process?
I have no idea.
And, that’s basically democracy in a nutshell. It’s absurd. Especially in today’s day and age where, if you wanted real democracy, every citizen of a country could vote on the internet for every proposed piece of legislation.
But, they would never allow that… because democracy isn’t there to do the will of the people. It is there to give people the illusion of choice while a select few make the rules.
And Trump is just the latest in a long list of politicians over the centuries to say one thing and then do the other.
