April-May 2021
The world is moving to
Dictatorships.
Socrates
was quite derogatory about what we
call representative democracy. (eg
Google "Socrates on
Democracy). Mostly because
of the corruption that it seemed
to engender.
The best
people to elect as USA President
seem to be people who were
independently wealthy and
accustomed to addressing the
public. Like Reagan. Like
Trump. The worst are career
politicians who use their position
to grant "favours".
How did I
calculate the best people?
Not by polls. By their
results.
During
Reagan's presidency, the USSR
disintegrated and became a 4 year,
2 term presidency. Also, the
Chinese instituted a 4 year 2 term
president. Reagan was the
only President in the last 80
years to be followed by a
president from the same
party. I ascribe this to the
respect that people had for
Reagan.
During
Trump's presidency the US balance
of trade improved, and the middle
east became more peaceful.
No new wars were started, and
existing wars were stopped.
US unemployment diminished.
However
since Reagan the middle east has
become more warlike. Syria,
Hamas and Iran have become more
aggressive. Both the
Russians and the Chinese stopped
the 4 year x 2 term presidential
rule. And both are now
strongly supporting dictators in
Myanmar and Belarus.
The powers
behind our democratic system
(Including Amazon, Facebook,
Google) are meanwhile exerting
their media influence to multiply
it. Trumpian projected
policies were threatening to cost
them $$$ so they worked to remove
him. Whether that was
achieved by hacking or just media
manipulation is not a question I
can answer, but hacking to assist
forging postal votes is a distinct
possibility.
