From year to year, many Brazilian politicians maintain the bad habit of treating the population in the same way as with pigeons, handing out crumbs.

Have you ever fed these animals? All you have to do is have a few crumbs in your hand to gather around you to eat. If we apply this to politics, then the point is that there is a class that commands or wants to rule Brazil, that thinks that we are equal to pigeons and thus encourages us to continue to behave like them, taking any food. no questions asked. and without reasoning.

When I read the news that Sao Paulo State Governor João Doria announced that his new program would pay six monthly contributions of R $ 300 to people who have lost family members to covid-19 and are living in vulnerable situations, I I thought, “How many people will vote for him next year because they got that amount?”

Impossible to measure the number, but certainly this is a campaign strategy not only for him, but also for many other politicians who have already started their election campaign long before it was sanctioned.

In Doria’s case, the announcement came after many businesses went bankrupt and many employees lost their jobs due to restrictive, confusing and unequal policies.

And when did former minister and former governor Ciro Gomes, who is also a preliminary presidential candidate, posted a video of the Bible in one hand and the Constitution in the other? Christians were outraged because he rarely spoke about this issue throughout his career, on the contrary, he had already criticized a variety of Christian denominations. People of other religions did not like this attitude at all.

We know that the participation of Christians in politics is growing every year, which is why many, such as Ciro Gomes, try to use tricks to promote themselves to this audience.

manipulation strategies

It is curious that since the beginning of the pandemic, some “future candidates” have sought to consolidate in the minds of the population the image that they will be the best defenders of life, science, democracy and vaccines.

Those targeting Planalto’s palace seem willing to go to great lengths to convince them that they deserve their vote in the next election.

Therefore, it is important that from now on we humans prepare ourselves so that they cannot manipulate them. The money from the state treasury, which pays for everything in the country, comes from our taxes and fees, that is, we have the right to collect it and hold them accountable if they do not do their job properly.

A politician who treats goods as alms, constructs and reforms as differences should be excluded from our parliaments. A small achievement cannot be considered a big act, in fact, it is just crumbs.

Politicians want us to think that we have a duty to thank and praise them. Hence, until voters stop holding audiences for those who act in this way and decide to rationally participate in elections, the authorities will continue to ignore them, resisting criticism and simply thinking about how to earn more money and power. pretending to think in the population.
