A cunting please for US political rhetoric.
Political rhetoric is dire in the UK but listening to the US Democratic nominees on the radio this morning, I was reminded just how much worse it is on the other side of the pond.
US political rhetoric has always been full of empty, wholesome apple pie sentiments which mean very little. Abe Lincoln started it, but there was honesty and substance in what he said as he was a great man, unlike the Pygmies that have succeeded him, most of whom have adopted his phraseology but none of his substance.
JFK was a master of the genre but when you analyze his speeches you realise they were empty. The absolute undisputed master of the genre was Barack Obama, whose eloquent, empty, brain dead speeches were a waste of breath. He never said one single thing of substance but made it sound like a cross between Honest Abe and JFK.
Anyone can make up these speeches. The Democratic nominees are now doing them all the time. Here’s one I made earlier –
“My fellow Americans. I was born in a humble log cabin. As a child I had a dream, the American dream of freedom, liberty and prosperity for all under the noble banner of our fathers. We must endeavour to persevere. Vote for me to realise the profound and far sighted vision of our Founding Fathers who conceived this nation in liberty and equality. God bless America, etc, etc, etc……”.
Bollocks.
That’s why the Orange One is so popular. He doesn’t speak like this. He speaks like Trump.
Fuck off.
