The White House Reflects The People
Mirror, mirror on the wall, are Americans the dumbest population of them all?
“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” - H.L. Mencken
Donald Trump - Reality TV Obsessed America
From the liberals on the left who went crazy to the MAGA conservatives on the right defending Trump as an amazing businessman, despite his many failed businesses. He ultimately has a real estate empire and his reality television show was how Donald Trump became a celebrity.
The office of the president is just a big reality tv show. Nominating and electing a reality tv star from “The Apprentice” is the next logical step in the inversion of modern politics and society.
Having a reality television star in the White House reflects modern America’s obsessions with entertainment, specifically reality tv. Popular reality tv shows including "Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” RuPaul’s Drag Race,” Survivor,” “Hell’s Kitchen,” and “Shark Tank.” Americans love their entertainment, especially reality tv shows.
Americans would rather be entertained and follow people on a reality show or social media who is doing something (or portraying they are doing something) than take action themselves. Americans would rather live in a fictional reality and continue to ignore facts than live in reality. President Donald Trump represented this aspect of American culture given his reality television background.
“We can ignore reality, but we cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.” - Ayn Rand
Joe Biden - Brain-dead America
From a former reality television star to a president who looks to be experiencing cognitive decline is a perfect representation of modern brain-dead America. Joe Biden appears unable to speak complete sentences, fall down the stairs of Airforce One, or know where he is going after giving a speech.
A president who likely has dementia and can’t think straight represents the United States as the most powerful person in the country. This sends a message of weakness to America’s enemies. It also demoralizes Americans. President Joe Biden’s inability to function is also representative of Americans who would rather hear from someone else who tells them what to think instead of thinking for themselves.
Americans would rather hear from an “expert” than do their research. Americans would rather hear news from a mainstream media talking head who is at least a year behind an alternative and independent news covering a topic. Americans would rather keep up with a sports team. Americans would rather watch movies and stream entertainment. America has become a brain-dead country. The current POTUS represents modern America.
Americans, particularly younger people, are now losing trust in the institutions and so-called “experts” because they have been consistently wrong.

Politics Is Theater
Politics is just a form of theater. Indeed, politics is merely theatre for those who don’t enjoy sports and want to consider themselves more sophisticated than people who watch football. The reality is that politics is just a big show, too. Politicians only will do and say the things in public that they think will get them elected or reelected. Politicians gaslight the American people all the time. A favorite of both political parties is telling Americans that they have the best economy in the world. According to US News and World Report, the United States ranks ten for an economically stable country and four for a good job market. The United States is ranked fifty-eight when it comes to affordability. Neither of those is best since they are number four, ten, and fifty-eight according to the metrics used by US News and World Report.
All the while, American jobs have been exported overseas. The United States economy is now primarily a service economy. Working from home will encourage corporations to hire contractors from less expensive countries. The American economy will continue to be gutted, but politicians will continue to proclaim that America has the best economy in the world!

The political theater will always be going on, from documents found in Joe Biden’s secret documents in his garage to classified documents found in Mike Pence’s Indiana home. It is up to you to decide if you want to waste your valuable time and attention on the political theater or start focusing on yourself.
Focus Less On Politics And More On Yourself
You can start by focusing less on politics and focusing more on yourself. You can continue to let the political drama distract you from being productive or start investing in yourself.
You are not going to change how a politician votes. You will not change if a politician goes on vacation or eats at a fancy French restaurant while ordinary people are told to be locked down because of a “public health crisis.”
You can start to focus on yourself by improving your health, relationships, and financial situation. You can improve your health in simple ways. You can begin to follow a diet and cook at home instead of always eating processed foods or going out to eat. You can consistently exercise. You could go to the gym.
When it comes to relationships, you can learn soft skills to get along better with others. You can also learn intercommunication skills. Relationships, no matter the type, are a form of external validation.
The most important relationship you can have is the one with yourself. You can work to accomplish goals. That is a way to help you to develop self-confidence.
Internal validation is more important than external validation.
You can find ways to make more money. With rising inflation and the cost of living, finding ways to bring in extra income has never been more critical. You could start a side hustle. You could work an additional job alongside your primary job. You could start a podcast, YouTube channel, website, or even a substack. Those may take longer to monetize, but once you can eventually turn them into income streams for an online business. These are passive income streams. They will also allow you to work from anywhere in the world.
You are responsible for bettering yourself. No politician can do that for you.

Will the United States eventually get a president like President Camacho from Idiocracy? Will the United States start a trend of electing A-list celebrities (Kanye, Oprah, et cetera)?
