All of the People All of the Time

Abraham Lincoln said,

“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.”

This election will determine if this maxim which is the basis for all Democracy is still valid. If Republicans win in November Democracy itself has been destroyed as a political theory. It was defeated by technology that enabled fooling at least the majority of the people of the United States. We then enter a scary new world.

Do not believe everything you read in the newspaper, do not believe everything you see on TV, and if the internet had been like it is today, DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ ON THE INTERNET. When something is posted without any good verification, pause for a moment. With AI and Putin's Puppet Musk beware the internet.
