The most important thing for you professional career politicians is to buy enough “smoke and mirrors” to keep your true self hidden from your voters. You must look like you are doing things for your voters while not necessarily actually doing the things that represent your voters.
Ladies and gentlemen, your Washington Beltway Bubble two-step was dramatically exposed when Donald J Trump invaded Washington D.C. with the reality that much more can be accomplished by a businessman with business practices than the Kabuki Theater practiced by you Beltway Bubble career professional politicians for so many decades. The fraudulent selection of Uncle Joe Biden as President in 2020 further exacerbated just how bad that Kabuki Theater has been.
America is telling you it is time to cut your puppet master’s financial strings and re-read the United States Constitution, do what is therein defined, and to do your PRIMARY job for your citizen voters. If you do your job, as promised, your re-election will take care of itself.
“Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I'll show you a crook.” ~ Harry S. Truman
