9. Keep lying to me about how my personal finances are.
Just before the election, there was a growing trend of videos online of smug newscasters talking to Americans who were suffering telling them "actually, inflation was 0 this month!"
Listen here -- I know how hard it is to put food on my table, don't sit there and try to convince me that I'm lying or wrong about it. They're doing this because they're receiving marching orders from the DNC, which is a disgrace. Life is hard, and it's getting harder. It's harder to get food, it's harder to get shelter, it's harder to buy fuel you need to heat your home or get to work. Anyone looked at the price of a new or even used car lately? It's insane! Ancient used cars are going for prices that would have been premium vehicles not long ago, but "No, you're wrong Mr. John Q. Public, things are perfectly fine."
Around the world, the smug condescention is failing progressive, center-left, and even some center-right parties, and we're seeing a rise in far right parties gaining power where they never did before. The people in charge are asking "Why? Why are they doing this unthinkable thing?" but the reality is that they're doing it out of desperation -- they're watching their way of life disappear, and they can see the gutter they'll be living in rapidly approaching, and if someone on the previously unthinkable far right says "I'm here to help", they'll go there because survival is more important than political correctness.
