Listening to the talking heads trying to explain the Kanye Oval Office meeting tells everyone listening that they don't understand anything. It's very embarrassing for them to show how out of touch and dense they are in their bubble. To be clear, I'm talking about both sides here

They are acting like Kanye was speaking a foreign language and they have to interrupt it for us. It was very clear what he said and the points he was making. So either these people are clueless or they are intentionally trying to confuse people. Take your pick.

*interpret not interrupt* curse you autocorrect you got me again.

1. Here is a quick example on why censorship doesn't work. Say you created a company around the fact that you had the best search engine. One if used, people could immediately find what they needed.

2. It worked so well everyone flocked to your product.

3. It created almost a monopoly for your company in the search industry.

4. With this monopoly power you decide to start censoring speech and filtering search to only give the "proper" response to searches because you are a leftist.

5. Net result is your search program is no longer the best search engine. It may be the best censored search engine but it's no longer the best.

6. Users are now taking more and more time to find what they really want, if they can find it at all.

7. Soon, someone smart creates a better search engine that reduces the time it takes to find what you need. One that gives you all the facts, opinions and news not just the pre approved ones.

8. The company pushing the censorship can not stop the outflow of consumers. Even if they stop other companies from growing their search engines, consumers will simply stop using the product because it is no longer worth the time.

1. Politics has always been to some degree the art of making people forget. Let's face it all politicians are liars to one degree or another. Some are really good liars others aren't so good at it.

2. The biggest advantage that politicians and those that practiced politics had over the years is the lack of long term memories of the population.

3. Most of the population simply are too busy or too unfocused to remember what a politician says from day to day. A free press was suppose to be our memory. They failed.

4. This lack of focus is why we have political campaigns to a large degree. It gives the population a chance to focus on the politicians in a more limited time period to pick the "best" person for the job.

5. Politicians over the decades have taken this lack of memory and focus by the population to come to the conclusion that the people are stupid. This is not the case. It's much more about apathy than stupidity.

This is how I see polling. Your results may vary.

1. For 90% of the time the pollsters can just make shit up within reason
2. They have to at least be in the realm of reality to be believed.
3. Sometimes their desire to push a particular point even outweighs this and

3. (cont) they push really fake polls that all the media report as God's honest truth like 90% of Americans believe in masks 🙄🙄 or that Biden is up by +14pts nationally while He is still fighting in PA🙄🙄.
4. But for the most part they stay within the realm of reality

5. The only "check" on pollsters is an election, where reality is actually measured not polled.

6. It is then extremely important that the pollsters get those last couple of polls before an election as close to reality as possible.

7. They need to get those final polls right.

8. Once the election is held and those final polls are compared to reality, the pollsters will loudly proclaim "See, the polls are right all the time because we got the election right"

9. Then the day after the election they can go back to fudging reality.

10. Many people fall for it, every time. Then it's simply a matter of rinse and repeat as the pollsters are paid to form public opinion not measure it until the next election.

11. Granted there are some pollsters that don't do this and strive to get it "right" every time.
