There is an ancient Sufi parable about coffee: "He who tastes, knows; he who tastes not, knows not."

Let’s be honest with ourselves, it’s so easy to complain about politics. It’s like yelling at your radio’s talk news, and then pounding on the dashbord because you heard something that you didn’t agree with. . Everyone from your favorite Uncle to your Teenage Son that was Grainwashed in High School., or the Protest that you just saw on TV. Or maybe even the “State of Our Nation.” But here’s the real story! Everyone has always been furious about the State of the Nation. It’s practically a National Pastime.
Seriously lets look back through history. 10 years ago, people were mad. 50 years ago, even angrier. 100 years ago? Pitchforks and torches were the way to settle arguments. . And 200 years ago? Still even madder. This isn’t because something is radically different now. It’s because the people without power have always wanted to pry it from the cold, manicured hands of those who have it. And the people who do have power? They’re doing everything possible to make sure they keep it, preferably without getting caught in a compromising position So, how do we fix this mess that we are in? Well, we won’t fix anything if we keep pretending our political system runs on “principles” or “policy” or “serving the public good.” That’s adorable, but it won’t help. . Welcome to Politics 101, also known as “America’s Other Oldest Profession.” So yes, there’s always a low rumble in the background about a revolution, a protest, a reset, or some magical third party riding in on a white horse named Reform. But here’s the inconvenient truth: people have been predicting “the big shake-up” for centuries. And each time, the power, money, and sex just rearrange themselves like a political Rubik’s Cube. New faces, same system. Different scandals, same variables.
The only real way to reset the system? Cut off the fuel supply. Eliminate the political corruption if you ncan find out where it comes from!. And no, not with angry hashtags or moral grandstanding, and definitely NOT with Name Calling! . I mean, actually stop the stupid, and corrupt behavior. So, how do we change our nations mess? We start by growing up. We stop pretending our political heroes are Saints. We stop handing out blank checks to sociopaths in expansive suits. And we stop fueling the system with blind loyalty and-driven outrage. Until then, keep your expectations low, your sarcasm sharp. Worshipping politicians like saints or celebrities is peak 21st-century absurdity—because nothing screams “healthy democracy” like turning mediocre public servants into untouchable demigods. Forget policies, just slap their face on a mug, scream their name at rallies, and treat every vague tweet like a passage from a sacred text. Criticize them? You’re a heretic. Hold them accountable? You must NOT be part of the “Grand Conspiracy” with ourselves . And most important of Stop Putting UN-Qualified people in important jobs , like trying to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, the most stupid candidate that I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

The people don't worship politicians. They worship Power, and for the same reason they worshipped Saints. Power can do Good.
So stop trying to do "good" and just mind your own business Dr. Pangloss. ;)
Don't think globally, think locally!
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
We are now trending towards Absolute corruption guided by the Malignant Narcissist Orange Insurectionist tRump.
No absolute corruption involves the Whole and originates in the UniPolar Globalist Order. Trump is merely a MultiPolar Regionalist corruption.
At least MAGA keeps folks busy creating labels for the delusions.
Is that what thinking is?
You'd rather I use your euphemisms?
Corruption nonetheless. And your obsession with a uni-party is merely a thought without substance. Designed to pump juice into a dying world view.
I'd rather just do what I do. Whatever you do is entirely your prerogative.
