Perceptions that Become Realities

I don’t know about you but, for a while there my optimism regarding Trump winning the elections was at an all time high, right after the Republican Convention and, sadly, after the assassination attempt.  That was all until Biden dropped out of the race on July 21st. Ever since Kamala Harris was anointed as queen of the reign, there seems to have been a tightening in the polls as in the later these appear to be closer, some even having Harris over Trump by as much as 5 percentage points which transcends the margin of error.

Here is my take on all that is going on, however much I would like to hear from you and get your valuable input.  As I look at these polls getting closer, I get chills up my spine on the thought alone that this nation could have this woman as president of the United States. As far as the polls are concerned, I am having a mental tug-of-war.  At times, I take them for face value, and, at times, I tell myself not to believe any of them – all depending on my state of mind.  

Here is what I am talking about.  There is no doubt in my mind that we live in times when the Machiavelli theory, the view that politics is amoral and that any means however unscrupulous can justifiably be used in achieving political power, has become a credo for Democrats. They will stop at nothing to stay in power, including but not limited, in my humble opinion, to manipulating polls.  Case in point, the 2016 elections when polls had Hillary Clinton beating Trump right to the end.

I do not want to spend too much time dwelling into polls, which could take longer than I am willing to allow in this short narrative.  But, I will say this much, every poll is based on random samples of approximately 1,500 to 2000 people.  Now, you tell me, how is it possible that a random sample of 1500 to 2000 can accurately tell how 159 million people are likely to vote?  Polls, in my opinion, are an inexact science at best, hence what they call “Outlier Polls” –  defined as polls that are inherently biased.  

Here is what I am concerned about.  Assuming I am right in that polls are being manipulated today having Kamala close and/or winning over Trump, the problem is that “persuasions” become reality to most people.  Right now, let’s face it, there is a corrupt and immensely powerful media behind Kamala Harris that is making her out to be the next best thing on earth after Mother Theresa. As far as politics and policy is concerned, in spite of the fact that she has not disclosed a platform at all, her ad campaign, and the fake news media are making sure to fabricate a totally false persona of this female version of Fidel Castro, making her out to be a moderate benefactor of “the people”, when, in fact, she is precisely the opposite – scary to say the least.

My fear is that, these “outlier polls” together with the evil media, and, together with a combined universe of Useful Idiots, of gullible illiterates, of lazy daydreamers, in a Machiavellian crusade to enlist the weak, the envious, the jealous to their army of non-conformists; to their ranks and file of goaded and impoverished brethren could, in fact, end up voting for the Party that is ruining their lives; for the same Party that is making them pay more for gas, food; for the same Party that has allowed 10 million illegal immigrants, including terrorists into our nation; for the same Party that has us a close as ever to a third World War – inconceivable as all that that may seem to you and I.

Here is an example of what I am talking about.  I keep hearing of polls where people disapprove of the economy, the border, and everything that is wrong today, if only, at the end, in the same poll they say they will vote for Kamala Harris. Can you explain that one to me?  You would figure that, unless you are a sadomasochist, a pain aficionado, or a sucker for punishment, you would not vote for those that are hurting you and your family, would you not? 

But, then again, what if I told you that there is a vast majority in the Democrats voting universe that are just that –  that are gluttons for punishment, by the way, much the same reason Communism still exist in the world.  Anyways, I suggest to you all, as I am doing myself, not to let yourself be swayed by polls and/or by a public opinion that is being masterfully manipulated by a corrupt media that wants us all believe that the Harris / Walz Marxist ticket can win in November – as if we do, the perception can become a reality. What say you?  May God save us and may God save the United States of America.
