Yet, we the people keep voting the same people back in office, whether it be the same actual person, or the same mindset just different name. And then we spend the next four years bitching about how nobody in government cares about us, until we vote them in again. We cry about term limits, when we the people absolutely control term limits.
Likewise, we all come on to places like this and agree that all politicians are (insert flavorful adjective here) and all crooks. Yet, the vast majority of we the people will only hold ‘the other side’ to account while continuously projecting, shifting blame, and dismissing the shenanigans of those on their ‘side’.
If all politicians are crooks, why do we only lash out about the crooks on the other side?
Because it’s just easier to let them tell us how to think, who to be mad at, how to vote and just run with it.
There’s a great line in ‘The American President’ “Politics has come about telling you what’s wrong with your life, and telling you who to blame for it. That’s how you win elections”
