Death By Dynasties: Jeb, Hillary, and Disaster!
And they’re both doing it in the same way - emphasizing things like ‘experience’ and ‘leadership’ and ‘connections.’ But if the truth be told, one of the major perks of coming from a great house is a facility for shading the truth, the real reason both of them are running is because that’s what Bushs and Clintons do. They run for President. Now, I’m not alone in noting that neither of these mediocre people really seem to want the job, but both of them seem to labor under the burden of unmet expectations. Neither one seems genuine. Neither one seems to have anything new to say. And like I said, neither one seems to be having very much fun at all. You know, they have something else in common, these two - and that’s a scathing contempt for the common person. This is another reason to avoid dynasties like the plague. Both Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton use expressions like “my lifelong love of service,” as if this was in fact actual service and not a continuation of the privileged and pampered lifestyles they both have enjoyed for virtually their entire lives. | Bill Whittle - YouTube

Your Say
So it's 1982 all over again and we know how that worked out.
Are you better off now?

The Ruling Class and the liberal-fascists in the media wouldn't have any influence if there were not innumerable armies of lazy and ignorant people waiting to be told what to think. Lazy and ignorant people don't know enough about anything to see past even the most ridiculous assertions. Being ignorant, but self-confident, they turn to "the crowd" and use social skills to detect what everybody else knows or thinks is reasonable.
As long as their opinion leaders don't begin and end a speech with "I intend to destroy everything, these sheeple will not march toward the cliffs, but defend the concept of walking off of the cliff for self-improvement. You can get the media watching people to favor or oppose ANYTHING simply by choosing a leading phrase before asking their opinion.

Right.
Everyone wants to be an individual but they would rather be like everyone else.
Grab one by the snoot and a whole train of millions come along for the ride, just because, and they know no better, nor do they even know they know no better, or care.
Stultifying arrogance beyond embarrassment.
