Speaker 1: Escape to rubber resort. Sometimes I wonder if some people
Speaker 1: in politics will ever learn what am I talking about. Well,
Speaker 1: we see it all too often where people get passionate,
Speaker 1: work hard for a candidate that is an anti establishment candidate,
Speaker 1: they get their teeth kicked in by the establishment despite
Speaker 1: how hard they work. They fought, and they understood, or
Speaker 1: at least it appeared they understood who they were fighting against.
Speaker 1: Then you fast forward to a year later and they
Speaker 1: get behind a candidate wasn't just against them the year
Speaker 1: before was hostile to them, and they're proud of their
Speaker 1: accomplishment of getting this establishment candidate elected. I don't understand it,
Speaker 1: because again, these people that you think are smart, they
Speaker 1: project themselves as intellectuals, and yet here they are celebrating
Speaker 1: the fact that they helped the establishment gain more power.
Speaker 1: Did they not understand the positions that were taken by
Speaker 1: this new candidate they got behind. Did they not understand
Speaker 1: that this new candidate was not just against them, but
Speaker 1: was aggressively against them, That this new candidate was a
Speaker 1: pawn for the very establishment candidate they were trying to
Speaker 1: defeat in the first place. It makes no sense other
Speaker 1: than the fact that people don't really pay that close attention.
Speaker 1: They get wrapped up in the election that they're involved in.
Speaker 1: They're not paying as close attention to the bit players.
Speaker 1: The big players, of course, are the very ones that
Speaker 1: the establishment are going to count on, because it's those
Speaker 1: very bit players who are going to be the ones
Speaker 1: who are going to be able to get elected next time,
Speaker 1: because they're going to be the ones that you don't remember.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter that they acted as a surrogate for
Speaker 1: your establishment candidate that you desperately want wanted to defeat.
Speaker 1: It didn't matter that they were actively going door to
Speaker 1: door or the establishment candidate that you desperately wanted to defeat.
Speaker 1: It didn't matter that they spread lies and falsehoods about
Speaker 1: the person you wanted to see elected. It didn't matter
Speaker 1: that they looked at you with disdain merely because you
Speaker 1: weren't on their side. You were standing up to the
Speaker 1: established order. And maybe they have a reason to look
Speaker 1: at you with disdain because guess what, they probably knew
Speaker 1: that when they announced they were running for another office
Speaker 1: themselves that you either wouldn't remember where they stood a
Speaker 1: year before, or you just never knew. It's sad to
Speaker 1: me because again, if I can find out, if others
Speaker 1: can find out, then you should have been able to
Speaker 1: see that as well. Is it because you were granted access?
Speaker 1: Because sometimes, and I've seen this far too often, even
Speaker 1: some of the best, once they're padded on the shoulder
Speaker 1: invited to one of those closed door events, they're given
Speaker 1: a certain level of treatment. They feel like, now they
Speaker 1: have been granted access, their principles kind of get checked
Speaker 1: a little bit. Their principles kind of aren't as important
Speaker 1: to them as they might have been back in the day.
Speaker 1: For me, it's always important when it comes to time
Speaker 1: for an election to look at their actions from the past,
Speaker 1: and maybe even look at what political campaigns they might
Speaker 1: have been involved in. They might be good people, and
Speaker 1: they might be able to win me over, but not
Speaker 1: if I have seen them be hyper aggressive against an
Speaker 1: anti establishment candidate. Not if I've seen them be hyper
Speaker 1: aggressive against the supporters of an anti establishment candidate. Not
Speaker 1: if I've seen them spread lies about the anti establishment candidate.
Speaker 1: These are the people that continue to figure out a
Speaker 1: way to co opt are folks. You claim to be
Speaker 1: an anti establishment person, you claim that you want candidates
Speaker 1: they're going to fight for your liberties. They're not going
Speaker 1: to just bow down at the altar of leadership. You
Speaker 1: claim that, and you will go out and work for one,
Speaker 1: but then again the next year, it's just one year
Speaker 1: later you go and fall right in line with a
Speaker 1: disciple of the man that you were trying to dethrone.
Speaker 1: This is a tale as old as time. We've seen
Speaker 1: it constantly, and you're being played. You're being played merely
Speaker 1: because you don't care to actually do any investigation, or
Speaker 1: maybe your short term memory it's just garbage. But most
Speaker 1: likely you've been padded on the shoulder, granted a new
Speaker 1: level of access that you've always dreamt of, and that's
Speaker 1: just enough for you to betray your principles and get
Speaker 1: behind the choice of the establishment. They can use things
Speaker 1: like my running mate is the person I'm running against
Speaker 1: is a true liberal, and even though you can't find
Speaker 1: any evidence of the such, you fall for it out
Speaker 1: of fear or whatever the case. The bottom line is,
Speaker 1: if we ever want to defeat the establishment, we can't
Speaker 1: just target the big guns. We have to start cutting
Speaker 1: out the minions as well, because, trust me, those minions
Speaker 1: they continue to grow. And as those minions continue to grow,
Speaker 1: they become the big ones before you know it. This
