OPINION
Unenlightened Trump Voters

by Yitzchok Roth

America has not yet arrived at the very "obvious" realization that not the president, but the very people, need to be changed. The "intelligent" populace is doing everything to prove that the 75 million voters for Trump are simply stupid. In a study which several major universities made, the researchers studied the knowledge of the potential voters, asking them factual question about inflation, immigration and economy, only to find that most of them were ignorant of such basic issues grounded on facts, while those who supported Harris were intelligently informed on those subjects.

In another survey taken after the elections, the attention level which the voters accorded to political news, were mainly people who had voted for Harris. Those who claimed to attribute moderately significant importance, were those who had supported Harris while those who did not place much importance on political news voted mainly for Trump. Those who ignored political news altogether were primarily voters for Trump. In other words, the supporters of Trump were hardly aware of political issues.

So now we know why Trump got elected. Not because of the public's disappointment in President Biden who lowered the standing of America in the eyes of the world and also made it harder for many to finish the month on their income. Nor because of the citizens' anger against the Democratic party which misled them for at least a year regarding the cognitive powers of president Biden and even supported him in his bid to serve another term, when the bitter truth was obvious when he stood against Trump in a public debate.

It then became very clear that he had to be exchanged for the next person in line 'on the shelf', an unqualified and unpopular candidate whose knowledge and know-how on basic rules of running the country are nil. Even those who appointed her for the candidacy were fully aware that the role was many, many times too big for her.

The American Left, which now comprises the center of the Democratic Party, is reluctant to admit that their defeat is a direct result of its abortive attempt to fool the voting public, which still possesses healthy good sense and intelligence. It is far simpler to turn the billions of voters throughout America into idiotic simpletons who fell under the ruse of 'fake news' at the level of the chosen new president. If only the American citizenry could be replaced, many would certainly be happy to do so.

Internal Incitement

The Dutch were quick to jump upon the bandwagon against Israel and to actually blame the Israelis for the horrendous pogrom which they experienced in Amsterdam. If the Israeli press can do so, why can't top brass in Holland join the fray?

Local newspapers reported that Israelis tore down Palestinian flags as the trigger for the anti-Semitic massacre. To be sure, the local radical Leftist publication, the newspaper Ha'aretz whose chief editor described the Hamas murderers as 'freedom fighters,' also joined the denunciation. And from, there the road is short for powers in Amsterdam to join the finger-pointing.

Why does this seem illogical? Because the Secret Service had already warned of imminent pogroms after receiving factual reports from social authorities regarding organized plans in the Dutch city to harm Israelis. This was not a spontaneous uprising but a predesigned riot from Moslem immigrants who knew that a large number of Israelis coming to the city to see their soccer team play.

The Moslems inquired where the Israelis would be lodging and in which districts they would be staying. They organized the riot together with Arab cab drivers and planned the massacre down to its fine details. There is no connection whatsoever to destroying Palestinian flags, an act which has not yet been verified in the least.

There were and always will be, 'good spirited' Jews who will lay the blame upon the very Jews for the hatred stirred up against them.

What have we to complain about non-Jews who have anti-Semitic hatred ingrained in them, when here, in our vary land, there are Israelis whose incitement aimed against all Jews but primarily against chareidim — and those in Amsterdam were surely not chareidim — is sevenfold more venomous.
