The Importance of Becoming Better Informed
Though the media and politicians constantly harp on the importance of getting as many people to vote as possible, the truth is that a large turnout does not necessarily translate into better election results. One example of this is the July 31, 1932 German election in which the people, beguiled by Hitler, made his National Socialist party the most powerful party in the Reichstag with a plurality of the vote. The turnout in that election was 84 percent; the election results led to Hitler’s tyranny and the Holocaust.
Of course, voting is important. But voting can result in something very different from what the voters hope for — unless they first take the time to become well informed. In fact, without becoming informed, it would actually be better not to vote — just as it would be better not to drive a car or handle a firearm without getting trained in their proper use. If this sounds like hyperbole, consider that casting uninformed ballots can result in the loss of liberty and the deaths of millions, as has occurred in Nazi Germany and so many other lands.
Getting reliable information to make informed decisions can be exceedingly difficult when relying solely on the major-media echo chamber. For example, consider how the fangs have recently come out against Senator J.D. Vance over his “childless cat ladies” comment in a resurfaced interview with Tucker Carlson from 2021. As spun by the opinion cartel, Vance is against women who do not have children, including women who are unable to do so. He has also, presumably, wrongly characterized Vice President Kamala Harris as a childless cat lady, since Harris has two step children.
