If I kept repeating certain things over a period of time, I can make someone believe the things I am saying are true in spite of them being false – Illusionary-truth. I think this is the characteristic of the campaign run by the republican nominee, Donald Trump. Keep calling Hillary Clinton – crooked Hillary without substantiated evidence – many then can then start believing that it could be true.
It is unfortunate that when Internet has forged some sort of re-unification of humanity, we do not have a leader who can work towards a responsible moral standards for the humanity at large to forge that ahead – may be based simply on the core emotions that are one and the same irrespective of the culture, ethnicity, religion, nation or social or power status.
Is it not easy to see that we are constantly denying our nothingness through self-created or mutated perceptions? Why is it not then possible to base the moral standards on the common core of love, empathy, friendship, loyalty and collaboration while contrasting them with the dangers of hatred, jealousy, contempt and pride?
Historically, we are at the same place where we began our evolutionary trend – by wandering and discovering what the world has to offer with the simplest tools that were created for hunting and survival. Internet has provided the similar tools now like social media, shared knowledge, perceptive comments, integration of diverse thoughts and many others to develop and discover the world where shared humanity could become the priority and benefit the majority.
When the Universalist religions like Judaism and Hinduism not only gave the individual free choice and also a collective humanity, why no one is seeing the same in the internet that has already created a globalist religion that knows no geographical or ethnical or cultural boundaries when groups are formed on the internet? Why then fight the war of words that seemingly is degenerating more into a childish brawl while both parties ae claiming to lead the new world order, not realizing that their campaigns are pointing in the other direction?
Why Hillary is failing to come to grips with the understanding that she has to listen to these frustrated and left aside driftwoods of globalization, who are being easily persuaded with the rhetoric of Trump, to connect with them to assure that the system will change for them and how she can do it. It is not necessary for her then to go after Trump to say he is not fit to be the president as no other argument will be necessary. She can show that she is capable because she understands the political system to effect the change needed. The political systems around the world are interconnected in a complex web of agreements of trade, human rights, national boundaries and the reasons well beyond the comprehension of a person like Donald Trump, mainly because of the Trumpism that he has chosen to promote. Blasting the current political system, however much angry he is like rest of us, is no path to leadership.
But sadly, if he denounces the Trumpism, he will not be the person he is and along with it he will fade into nothingness, and hence he is clinging to it as best as he can. He probably knows it in his heart that he will not be able to do justice to his followers and to his own agenda as soon as he becomes a president. He knows it for sure through the security briefings that he receives as a nominee of the Republican Party.
Hope he wakes up to realize that he has failed whichever way he looks at it – he will either disappoint his followers with the reality of no hope through him or keep on fighting and win and destroy the reunification process that could have benefited his followers. Phoenix can be born out of ashes, but not politics.
