Rights Dangling

“Rights Dangling” is a method used by politicians to scare citizens into donating money and voting for them. Politicians from both parties will constantly “fight” over your rights (all for show) instead of focusing on changes that would benefit society. And this is why we hear about abortion and guns on the daily rather than small achievable things like banning certain cancerous foods, increasing pay for teachers, and other things that would improve your life.

Having your rights dangled above you on a daily basis will severely polarize you and put you in a permanent bad mood. However, this bad mood makes you more likely to donate money and rally for a certain side’s cause.

Even though everyone agrees that these certain things are rights that should be limited and left there. Like how guns may not be an issue if assault weapons were banned and the legal age of purchase was, say, raised to an age where people’s brains were fully developed.

But, this method of politicing is a f***big gold mine. Officials don’t actually need to get anything done and can get paid to speak to crowds of angry people while we see zero progress for long periods of time.

And somehow they all get rich in the process?

Perosn: “damnn our congresswoman is constantly Rights Dangling… I swear to god I haven’t seen her do anything that’s made a change in like 10 years… but Pete’s mom keeps donating to her?”

Senator whatshisface is coming after your right to bear arms! Vote for me and donate to the cause today and I’ll make sure no one lays a hand on your teen’s AK style assault weapon! :D

Person: They just be rights dangling. If they could focus on a compromising solution that kept everyone safe, maybe I wouldn’t have to hear or read the words “guns” and “12 dead children” like very other freaking day.
