A considerable failing of “Democracy” in modern times comes with an avoidance to participating by strong successful intelectual candidates well versed in basic economics and successful business creation and development replacing them with “educated political ideologue” candidates following theory as a basis of understanding.
The western democracies are almost all being run by book learned intellectual midgets.

The talking heads are suggesting the demise of Dutton in Australia and Poilievre in Canada is a direct result of Trump’s actions in the US clearly defined in campaign rhetoric mainly over tariffs.

Nooo people, It is the direct outcome resulting from an intense campaign by socialist media in misrepresenting what is actually happening in the world with Media bias.

Trump’s Campaign really only resulted in a often occurring modern action in democratic politics (not referring to the US party here) where candidates become selected after a ticking of boxes to comply with modern parlance that is now dominated by wokeness.

Harris ticked several, race, a woman of colour having Negro and Indian forebears, like another US Democrat party elite Elizabeth Warren who nefariously claims North American blood while being whiter than white, Harris remained however a total disaster in so many ways observed by a majority of voters resulting in a Trump victory.

Anyway the trend continues as it does here in New Zealand with some of quite european appearance citizens suddenly discovering a genetic link to a Maori forebear. The female Co Leader of the native maori party a particular standout now adding a chin scribble to her very pale face.

Back to Harris who of course ticked the female box.
However what was missing and now is being quietly suppressed is any success for her beyond California in a national campaign record that was terminated before being tested in any “Primary” and with the eleventh hour departure of the Vegetable was avoided totally before the upcoming Democratic Party convention that blindly followed the script to validate the extraordinary nomination then were forced to watch with growing dismay as Trump prevailed. In fact so decisively he took all the so called Swing states to score a very impressive electoral college victory.

Now success in California should not be disregarded but it is unlikely to impress voters in the “Flyover” states that dominate the so called “Swing” states but California is an economic basket case in spite of a list of Governors that went successfully national, to wit Nixon and Reagan, both Republicans.

Now six months on from the evisceration of Harris, the Party of Clinton, Obama, Gore and Biden languish leaderless with some more moronic of the remnants openly grasping at geriatric Bernie Sanders and “Young” Alexandria Occasio Cortes perhaps the next woke box ticking candidate making some running with ultra hypocritical acts such as flying by “Private Jet” hither and thither across the US to be greeted by ultra safe crowds of the converted while no one wants to rise above the ramparts searching for the middle ground voters.

Can anyone point to a Churchill, a Lincoln, a Theodore Roosevelt?
Even a de Gaulle, Adenauer, Menzies who all bestrode nations?
No equanimity rules guided by faceless bureaucrats and the United Nations that has become as woke as seems possible dominated increasingly by socialism and Islamic nutters.

What is needed to deliver a Leader with undeniable powers, even a Bismark with Johann Gottlieb Fichte theories perhaps, one who actually believes and delivers?
