Trump's Secret Weapon



The secret weapon of the Republicans is George Soros and the elite Democratic leadership.  Possessing power jealously, they simply will not allow any others to ascend to leadership.  They demand any pretenders to power be rather far to the left.   In proof, a large number of the cabal of power-Democrats come from three states: New York, Massachusetts, and California.  

You can bet many Democrats feel like they are also forgotten. 

This continues with left-like movements such as the current protests against the Trump win, but also in the Occupy Wall Street push.  No leaders seem to be emerging.  These elites still control everything, no matter how much soul-searching or analysis seems to be forthcoming.  

If anything, this election showed that internally controlled progressive agendas may not work.  They have spent their power capital.  Exhausted for now, they must appeal to moderates within.  Can they do it?  Probably not. Power is so very hard to give up.   Republicans should encourage leaders like Nancy Pelosi to stay in control, as that will assure they stay in power. 

A final point, made most often by Democrats, is that Trump won because the non-college educated, thus ignorant voter.  This is an implied fallacy. To be non college educated simply means you have not been indoctrinated by college professors.  You must think for yourself. These days a college education does not automatically confer or imply intelligence - so weak is the college educational process over the past couple of decades.

I.                                       I.                 Introduction.                Concerning our general behavior, it’s high about time we all had some understanding of how we operate on ourselves, and it is just as important how we are operated on by others. This is the wheelhouse of behavioral sciences. It is a vast subject. It touches our lives constantly. It’s influence is pervasive and can be so subtle we never notice it. Behavioral sciences profoundly affect our ability and success at problem-solving, from the elementary level to highly complex wicked problems. This is discussed in Section IV. We begin with the basics of behavioral sciences, Section II, and then through the lens of multiple categories and examples, Section III. II.     ...

UNCERTAINTY IS CERTAIN

  Uncertainty is Certain G. Donald Allen 12/12/2024 1.       Introduction . This short essay is about uncertainty in people from both secular and nonsecular viewpoints. One point that will emerge is that randomly based uncertainty can be a driver for religious structure. Many groups facing uncertainty about their future are deeply religious or rely on faith as a source of comfort, resilience, and guidance. The intersection of uncertainty and religiosity often stems from the human need to find meaning, hope, and stability in the face of unpredictable or challenging circumstances. We first take up the connections of uncertainty to religion for the first real profession, farming, noting that hunting has many similar uncertainties. Below are groups that commonly lean on religious beliefs amidst uncertainty.   This short essay is a follow-up to a previous piece on certainty (https://used-ideas.blogspot.com/2024/12/certainty-is-also-emotion.html).

Mediocrity

 Once of the worst things that can happen to a young person is to be told their mediocre performance is good. For me, I was told the opposite, that my efforts would end me in failure. That was a spur that dug in deep. I would prove him wrong.  And I did.  Do not praise mediocrity, no matter how much it makes you feel good or your target.
