What is the difference between political motion and genuine achievement?

According to Mike Barnacle, many people are confusing political motion with actual achievement in today's political landscape. He explains that the public sees constant activity—what he calls 'flooding the zone'—and mistakenly interprets this as productive work, particularly regarding the Trump administration's efforts. Barnacle warns about the consequences of this confusion, questioning what happens when promised benefits like Medicare and Social Security fall short. He highlights that despite the appearance of political activity, the real test of achievement comes when citizens experience the actual impact on their daily lives, such as receiving inadequate Social Security checks or facing higher costs of living.
