How Politicians Manipulate Your Thoughts And Reasoning

We tend to underestimate the power and influence of politicians. A politician who has a seat in parliament has the power to influence the reasoning of a citizen that is watching or listening to him. That is why they have followers and are very successful in their career or field. Many South Africans are 'victims' of political influence. Here's what you don't know; the only reason politicians can influence your reasoning is that they understand the psyche of a typical human being. They know and understand that you are more likely to get 'hooked' if what they are saying is dramatic and driving gossip and judgment instead of hope and trust.

Just like they know that if they can tell you what you want to hear, then you are more likely to give them your vote during the elections. The same way, they know that if they can throw you off with a dramatic statement pointed to the president, you will focus your mind on that statement because it is much more entertaining. That way you will not have the ears to hear what the president has to say or the eyes to acknowledge good and give credit where it is due. For the reason that typical human beings find judgment and gossip more entertaining than applauding the greater good that has been done. The greater good that makes South Africa a great country to raise your children and take care of your family.

For example, a couple of months ago, during the SONA debate, Honourable Lekota accused President Cyril Ramaphosa of selling them out to the apartheid government in the 1970s. The whole nation got very excited and people were already throwing insults and accusations to the president. Doing that with so much confidence and speaking as if they had facts and evidence. A couple of months later, New24 falsely reports that Bill Gates wants to test his vaccine in Africa and the people automatically accused Cyril Ramaphosa of selling them out!

And That is because the seed was already planted in their heads during the SONA debate that President Ramaphosa can not be trusted. And therefore, their reasoning was already influenced, for the reason that the nation may lose faith in the current president. Look at this; if opposers can start early to turn the voters against the president, then they stand a better chance of removing him from his position in the future.

Politicians use the excitement you get whenever there's someone to judge, out-trash, and gossip about to get inside your head and manipulates your thoughts and reasoning. And so the million-dollar question is; what kind of excitement do you give in to and entertain. Have you ever trained your mind to stand on it and align your thoughts only with your morals and principles? What exactly do you stand for?
