Voting For Your Own Demise!

I will no longer participate in the American political process, because doing so makes me complicit in my own demise as a free-thinking person!  This is certainly a mouthful, and I understand that this will cause many of my family and friends to cringe, and look at me sideways; at any rate, the truth must be spoken.

I Understand the History

Yes, I know that many people gave their lives in the cause of having the right to vote.  Blacks, whites, and other races, joined together in the 60’s to fight for civil rights in America.  Many of them were brutalized by police for having the audacity to fight for their rights to live as human beings and not as cattle, herded by the powers that be, and led to the proverbial slaughter.  After much work, pain, and bloodshed, civil rights came to fruition in America – but only as defined by the powers that be!

Yes, there were major changes that made life much better for all people in America.  These changes included many desegregation efforts as well as voting rights for all.  Now, you must remember, that the people who are responsible for the management of social order, had no choice but to finally give in to the demands of the masses.  You see, when the masses of people come together in a unified effort, in total disregard for race, religion, or political affiliation, division becomes unity, and unity brings victory.

The ruling class in America had a huge problem on their hands – a unified people!  They had to find a way to give the masses what they wanted, without relinquishing their ultimate control of the masses.  This would be a difficult challenge for the ruling class, because if this new civil rights amendment was to have any look of legitimacy, all people, men, women, black, white, etc., would have to be a working part of the government going forward.

Now there have always been political parties, but because of the civil rights movement of the masses, these parties had to become inclusive of those who were previously excluded, and they had to now defend those who were previously victimized by them!  This caused a flurry of active think-tanks to try and come up with a solution to a very big problem quickly - and they did!

The solution was a very subtle change, not to the structure of the political parties, but to their purpose!  The reason the civil rights movement was so effective against the American government was because the people were unified.  So, to keep this from happening again, the purpose of the political process was revised to that of being an instigator of division!  As long as the people are divided, there is no chance of another civil rights-type movement disrupting the plans of the ruling class.

This was the opportune time to seize this new direction, because the civil rights movement provided all the substance that division is made of; race, religion, age, gender, and sexual orientation.  With all of these issues at the core of civil rights, the ruling class needed only to find a way to use these issues as tools of division among the people.  As a result, the two major parties (Democrats and Republicans), became more than simply differing schools of thought, they became essentially archrivals, and they did so intentionally to create an atmosphere of intense division between their constituents!

Division Breeds Insanity

Today, the American people are so divided that the very concept of compromise on behalf of either party is frowned upon to the point that one’s career, or even their life may be at stake for the thought of it.  As a result, nothing gets accomplished in Washington, and the people become even more frustrated as they watch their peace and prosperity disappear before their eyes.  They lose their jobs, their homes, and their savings, while the government they vote for does nothing for them at all!

Every two and four years, the republicans vow to change their status in life by voting out those democrat bastards, and restoring America to its greatness.  At the same time, democrats vow to improve the lives of all Americans, by voting out those republican bastards, and bringing America back to its roots!

Every election cycle, the American people set themselves against one another in defense of the democratic or republican ideology.  Divided they stand, and divided they fall.  Over and over again, election after election, campaign after campaign, promise after promise, the American people continue to play a losing game of voting against one another, instead of standing with each other.  Each attempt to change the game by voting fails again and again, yet each time, the American people seem to expect that something will be different this time – insanity at its peak!

Fat Rats in a Cheese Factory

Just like a bunch of fat rats in a cheese factory, the politicians in Washington are as happy as they can be!  They sit back and watch the gerbils (the American people) run feverishly on a wheel that takes them nowhere at all after having expended so much energy.  They watch the little gerbils, navigate all the colorful gerbil tubes of the political process, only to find that after all that traveling, they are still in a cage.  So, what do the American people do?  The run to the ballot boxes every two and four years, casting their votes against each other.  The politicians are very helpful in the instigation of hatred and division.  They periodically make appearances on the media stage, with performances that fuel the division between the people.  Then they disappear behind the curtains of dinners, discussions, and debates, to assure the people that they are working on their behalf, and just as planned, the divisions between the people are now wider than they have ever been.  This is great news for the politicians, because as long as the people are divided, they will vote every two and four years so that they will have funding for more dinners, discussions, and debates that get absolutely nothing done!

Conclusion

The conclusion is short and exact.  A vote for a political party and politician is a vote for your own demise, because you are giving signature to the process that is killing you!  The only way to effect change in America is the way it was done in the 60s via the civil rights movement – the unity of the people!
