Palin's speech in Wisconsin

Yesterday, I wrote about the shallow nature of the public.  To blame the public may be a bit unjust, but look who won last night.  Didn't the Establishment want Cruz to win?  And why? Do people really want the Establishment to win?  Why do they want Cruz over Trump?

Why, why, why.  You have to ask why.

Now for the video below.  Much was made about the lack of applause.  The author missed 1 line, which was about the cheeseheads.   If you don't know what a "cheesehead" is, then the speech may have seemed nonsensical, and the rest written off as such.  It is nonsensical only to someone who doesn't understand, or the claim was false, perhaps in a malicious way.  But the speech was definitely not nonsensical, as was claimed by the Wapo writer.  I watched the whole thing.  It was a populist speech.  True, there were only 4 applause lines, as opposed to the 3 that the Wapo writer claimed.  However, it is still an error to claim only 3.  He also mangled the quote.  At least one.  I suspect that it may have been deliberate, in order to make Palin look ridiculous.  That in combination with the misquotes.

Reminds me of the scene in Brave New World.  We are getting more and more like that dystopian future, in which the "controllers" can make someone or anyone look ridiculous at their whim.  If they can make Palin look ridiculous, they can make Trump look ridiculous.  If they can make Trump look ridiculous, they can certainly make Cruz look ridiculous.

In the movie, the word "why" was frowned upon.  At least those people asked.  Do people today even bother to ask?

Maybe I should have gone more into this yesterday.  But would it have made any difference?
