Der Jesse-Ventura-Effekt

Wieso ist eigentlich Kaiserwetter, wenn ich in einer Republik wählen gehe?

Das Publikum merkte richtig an, dass auch um Sonneborn herum eine Menge nichtbinärer schräger Vögel herumschwirren, denen man nichts anvertrauen möchte außer den eigenen Müll.

Es gilt aber immer noch die zeitlos richtige Analyse Michael Moores, die er vor der ersten Trump-Wahl 2016 abgegeben hat:

The Jesse Ventura Effect. Finally, do not discount the electorate’s ability to be mischievous or underestimate how any millions fancy themselves as closet anarchists once they draw the curtain and are all alone in the voting booth. It’s one of the few places left in society where there are no security cameras, no listening devices, no spouses, no kids, no boss, no cops, there’s not even a friggin’ time limit. You can take as long as you need in there and no one can make you do anything. You can push the button and vote a straight party line, or you can write in Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. There are no rules. And because of that, and the anger that so many have toward a broken political system, millions are going to vote for [bitte selbst ausfüllen] not because they agree with him, not because they like his bigotry or ego, but just because they can. Just because it will upset the apple cart and make mommy and daddy mad. And in the same way like when you’re standing on the edge of Niagara Falls and your mind wonders for a moment what would that feel like to go over that thing, a lot of people are going to love being in the position of puppetmaster and plunking down for [bitte selbst ausfüllen] just to see what that might look like. Remember back in the ‘90s when the people of Minnesota elected a professional wrestler as their governor? They didn’t do this because they’re stupid or thought that Jesse Ventura was some sort of statesman or political intellectual. They did so just because they could. Minnesota is one of the smartest states in the country. It is also filled with people who have a dark sense of humor — and voting for Ventura was their version of a good practical joke on a sick political system. This is going to happen again with [bitte selbst ausfüllen].

Deshalb habe ich Sonneborn gewählt – „a good practical joke on a sick political system“. Andere wählen die Pappkameraden der AfD aus den gleichen Gründen.
