Expanding to the center is good, but that's a deal you make at the decisive moment near the end of an election. That's swallowing poison. The three-party coalition collapsed and the Democratic Liberal Party suffered a crushing defeat, the DJP alliance and the New Politics National Assembly suffered a crushing defeat. The launch of the Uri Party led to 40 consecutive by-election defeats. Don't you get that artificial political realignments always lead to trouble later? You just can't communicate at all.

The desire of the New Jaemyeong (뉴재명) people to use the final card of fear politics through a Public Security State still remains, which is why this standoff does not resolve easily. Everyone knows this.

Why didn't Lee Jae-myung (이재명) pledge a structural majority in the presidential election? Democracy is the agreement of the majority. To push through a policy after the fact that was not pledged beforehand is against democracy. Lee Jae-myung violated procedural legitimacy. It's the trick Park Chung-hee (박정희) used—seizing power by declaring a handover of civil government and then running a Yushin dictatorship.

Yoo Si-min (유시민) experienced Gyeonggi East and thus knows their Shincheonji (신천지) techniques. They tried to take over the Unified Progressive Party but Yoo Si-min caught on. Lee Jae-myung, using the Democratic Party as a host, lurked in the shadows and decided now was the time to devour it. There must be an insider passing Lee Jae-myung's plans to Yoo Si-min. I'm envious that he figured it out before I did.

There's just one problem with Lee Jae-myung. He's simply not a decent person. At first, I wondered if maybe there was some bum among his advisors, or whether a delinquent son might be doing those things, but it turned out to be him. I couldn't believe it when people said he and his wife were playing at Ilbe together, but it was true. He's just the type to do that sort of thing. As the saying goes, you can't fix a person—so he's hopeless.

Don't you know that, whether centrist or conservative, everyone rallies to the winning side? If you show that you can win, expansion happens automatically. What chance is there while you're fighting and waging civil war within your camp? Authority, dignity, and charisma are the guaranteed checks of victory. Charisma is something you gain when your side comes together as one. If you start a civil war among your own, you only become a laughingstock.
