What is the point?

By Van Ybiernas

When Noynoy persecuted GMA, Merceditas Gutierrez (remember her?), Corona and others, utilizing government agencies like AMLC, BIR, etc. ---never mind the gut-less Congress and for-sale Senate--- he and his cohorts probably did NOT foresee what was going to happen. They were sooooooooo sure they would be able to destroy Jojo Binay (which they did) and catapult Mar to the presidency (which, fortunately, did not happen).

I think they unwittingly paved the way for Duterte to be president. Not just because they highlighted the people's need for competent leadership, but they paved the way for a strong leader.

If you notice, every time the Yellowtards attack, the Dutertards simply draw their attention to the recent past and scream "hypocrisy!"

Moreover, the people's disgust for the Yellows made the Marcos LNMB burial and Martial Law declaration MORE palatable than it would normally be. I mean, these have always been acceptable ---I saw a survey during the Noynoy presidency that states Pinoys were okay with the burial--- but I know of people who were either on the fence or leaning against the Marcoses, cross to the opposite side because of disgust with the present crop of Yellowtards.

If you watched last night's Dulowtard History Live or if you are a keen observer of recent history, you'll realize that the winds of change are blowing a lot harder these days, not just in the Duterte phenomenon but even the Noynoy Aquino mistake (bwahahahahahaha), too. FEM was extremely (galit si Xiao Chua sa adjective na ito, hahahaha) popular in the 60s to the 70s, but really plummeted in the 80s. Even while already dead, his popularity is making a remarkable recovery because of Noynoy's and the Yellow's unpopularity.

We all have to take note of the quicker pace of change in popular opinion these days. Politicians have a shorter honeymoon period nowadays. They have to perform. They have to show results or see their once soaring popularity nosedive in one breath.

What is the point? The Duterte administration must have an eye on the past, one on the present and a third one on the future, especially if they want to survive the things that they are doing now. Remember that judgment for the things that are done today will come tomorrow.

As I said in an earlier post today, justice may not be instantaneous ---as these smug fools in the CA think--- but when it does come ---after some very fashionable delay--- it is almost a malevolent kind of justice: total, irrational, massive.

Let me be one of the voices in the wilderness. bwahahahahahahahahahaha
