Commentary by Bill the Butcher

Public perception is a collective opinion or viewpoint that members of the public hold about a person, issue, or event. It’s based on how people interpret and perceive information using their own experiences and beliefs. Public perception can be obtained through public opinion polls.

Recently I taught you about how far public perception can be skewed to the point where it challenges reality when I drew a line from the Russian mystic, Rasputin and the politician Putin. What people burn in their crazy mind is very powerful. People live, breathe, and vote. Even the most evil dictator can be affected by public perception when that perception shifts and the public lobs off his head or he finds himself confined in a bunker in Berlin. Then the perception becomes reality.

Rasputin created the illusion that he was “The Magic Man,” and made the Czarina believe it in their private moments. Vladimir Putin has pulled the wool over Russian eyes, and they believe that he is going to give them back the Russian Empire. The Russian Empire in and of itself was an illusion. The British had an empire. The Romans had an empire. The freaking Zulus had an empire. The Russians had polar bears! And now Kamala Harris is attempting to create a public perception that she is the dawn of a New Age of Pseudo Americanism with a dash of Californication with absolutely no substantive content.

With a lot of giggles, sound bites, and a few coconuts she has hoorahed the media to the point that “public perception” is that she is the President Designate! She is one heartbeat from the Oval Office and Biden’s heart ain’t doing so good. And the polls reflect it. According to the polls she swung in on a vine, killed the White Buffalo with a Bowie knife, shape shifted from Sioux to Snoop Dog, smoked a joint with Willie, and called it an election.

Never forget that a poll is a constructed opinion. It is taking a sample of a given population, asking certain questions, and examining the results. Then the pollster injects his opinion about those opinions. Now, this is all very fine if all things are equal. For instance, asking the man on the street about the price of groceries. Or does he believe that the current administration really affects that. But “Who you gonna vote for?” doesn’t make the cut. You ask a bunch of students at Berkeley that and you’re gonna get a different answer than, say, Texas A&M. And in all likelihood they aren’t gonna vote anyway! Why not ask an Aborigine in the Australian Outback about his favorite Sushi?

But polls have weight. They don’t reflect opinions, they change opinions. There are people who follow their own star, and then there is a large segment of the population that likes to get next to a happening guy, or gal, whichever the case may be. On the eve of an election the polls will be highly accurate because after many months of constructing public perception they will have convinced the voters that their opinion is public reality! And if you believe then it becomes your reality with the flip of a switch. Never forget that a vote is only a flip of a switch away. How many times have you purchased something at the checkout counter of your supermarket that you would not have even looked at in the regular isles? Tootsie Rolls anyone?

Kamala is a Tootsie Roll. Let’s look at what the Democrats had for a candidate. The only man in recent memory who can fall UP the stairs. Walks into a rose bush in the rose garden. Has conversations with dead people during a press conference and let us not forgive the little girl whose eyes bugged out when he laid his hands on her shoulders and kissed the top of her head. Trump was having a field day with him. He didn’t even have to try. Then, in a moment of clarity Biden quits. Glory hallelujah. And who did the Dems choose as a replacement? The Vice President in charge of sitting by the door. Affirmative action in formation. Nobody expected her to win. But at least she would be awake to concede on November 5th. And after that she would forever be doing speaking engagements, like Al Gore, where she would be introduced as the woman who was almost president! God bless ‘Murica!

And then came the smoke and mirrors. The polls. It started slow. A point here, a couple points there, and Harris inched up to right at even. Then she caught fire. She didn’t just go to the border, she lived there, checking the ID of everyone who came over. She was an Indian, no, she was black, red, yellow and green! Yes! The Aliens love her too and the polls reflected it. The MSM began to congratulate Trump for now being the “old” candidate. His pictures magically suddenly barely discernible wrinkles and stories popped up claiming that he was “ranting” at rallies and had a nervous breakdown after his ear got blown off. Hail hail the gang’s all here! And they brought family!

Can Harris win. Yes! Obama won! Hell! Jimmy Carter won. “We’uns is a goin’ to de Whitey House!” Boy! That was special. She can win because of public perception. In Rome public perception portrayed Caligula as a party animal. Behind Senate doors it was known that he was just an animal, and his own Praetorian Guard cut his guts out on his way out of the games. So, yes, anything is possible. Will she have a profound effect on history? No. All the lights are on but nobody’s home. I won’t asperse her. The only policies I’ve seen her actually drill down on was the ones she stole from Trump.

Buzz words are king. In songwriting they are known as hooks. Something that sticks in your head. Psychologically these attach themselves to other memories, thoughts or conclusions that are floating around up there. A buzz word such as “weird” when glossing over all proof or definition will look for clarification in the human mind. The phrase “Connect the dots” has merit. When a buzz word connects the dots in your mind it becomes your thoughts. Your conclusions. It must be true. You thought of it. Ergo Donald Trump must be weird.

No, Trump is not weird. But he is old school, and new school doesn’t like that. And new school wants new, exciting and sexy. So why are they looking at a menopausal old broad who laughs a lot and slings coconuts at them? Because the polls told them to . . . THAT’S why!
