I accept that about 20% of the population are pyscho, sadistic, very stupid, very greedy and just pure evil. They are disproportionatley in the Gardai, judiciary, journalism and rich men and landlords generally. Only a tiny minority of these people are even half honest. They boast and brag openly about the evil they do and sneer that nobody can touch them
But the elections are rigged big time. They are rigged in swaggering, blatant, debonaire, thuggish and bloodthirsty style. When you mention this, all kinds of Clever Trevors crawl out of the woodwork to insult you as a loser, but it is true. They nearly killed me when I turned up for the count in Sligo, in full view of witnessess, CCTV and all the rest. Not a word about it, of course. Even the so-called "alternative" parties keep schtum - for what reason you can guess!
One of the advantages of rigging elections is that the riggers can use the rig to demoralise the population: "Look, you stupid fucking Paddys, your fellow countrymen voted in huge numbers for infinity Nigerians, mandatory Covid vaxes and gender mutilation of children. So just give up in despair."
I do not consent.
Does that answer your question?
