I do wonder about the intelligence of some people who are out on the campaign trail.
And, no, I’m not talking about the old folk duking it out in USA!
Ah, the fun of elections!
We’re in the middle of the first Council election in several years. This is all due to the dreadful mismanagement, infighting, and overall debacles that led the government of the day to step in and appoint a commissioner to run the show.
Needless to say, this has caused a bit of a rift among the ratepayers. Some thought it a great idea, others not. No one is perfect, but one has to agree that more has been done since the Commissioner ran things than when the council did.
However, things have come to an end, and it’s now time for wannabe councillors to put on their big-people panties and step up to the mark to create an honest and forward-thinking/planning council to run the show. How we’ll go—well, that we’ll find out.
This brings me to the billboards that are currently scattered around every nook and cranny for the driving voters to see. One in particular caught my eye.
Now, I’m not about to get into a discussion about Trump – or how I feel about him. But what does puzzle me is:
1. Is this candidate aligning himself with Trump’s style by using the ‘make ….. great again’ mantra that MAGA is famous for
OR
2. Is this candidate trying to be funny, witty or show some style of sarcasm?
Either way, I think it’s a completely disastrous campaign slogan. If he is aligning himself to MAGA because he believes it’s right, then he’s lost the votes of those who are totally opposed to Trump’s style and certainly don’t want to see their Mayor following in his footsteps.
And if he’s just being funny, then it’s backfired. If people think it’s a joke or sarcasm, they’ll still not vote just in case they’re wrong, and this candidate truly does hold Trump up as a model leader.
Ah, the fun of elections! 😂😂😂
STAY IN THE LOOP
