Yawn. Nobody trusts Hillary. Vaguely familiar? Strong and Stable. Make Britain Great Again.
You are an idiot. A dupe. You repeat, and believe, what you are told by your right-wing newspapers and websites. You are incapable of wider thought or analysis, whatever the rights or wrongs of political or economic policy.
There are enough like you to mean the Conservative party, with decades of compliant tabloid media behind them, will win this election. Not every conservative is unthinking, as not every leftie is thoughtful or critical.
Far from unthinking, it is overt policy to race to the bottom, to harness the vote of people who uncritically believe short and badly written pieces on prejudice-affiirming websites.
It is the captive herd of mooing Ryans – outside of actual political thinking – that mean we have a consistently centre-right government – now to the point of their mouthpieces saying ‘nobody’ trusts Jeremy Corbyn.
Where did you read that? Is there any point at all in me saying that is simply not true? No, I guess not.
The saddest part for me is this policy of ‘Ryan farming’ is based on a presumption of bovine stupidity among a sufficient number of non-wealthy British people.
This is an old-school conservative idea – that the ‘proles’ are dimmer than themselves, and the only way to be democratically succesful as a minority is to tell them what to think – essentialy tell the turkeys to vote for Christmas. One method is to whip up nationalism, another is to emphasise the ‘strengh and stability’ of the unquestionable leader.
A common method is to tell those with the strongest herd instinct that this is what ‘everybody else’ is thinking.
It is sad as it appears to have worked. Not all proles are dim, Ryan, but you are too dim to understand that.
