They are much more stupid than most people would imagine. Trust me, I have been a politician and have seen how they reason, and fail at it. Yes, I have met several who were party leaders, ministers and the like.
Many of them have their favourite stick-ponies they like to ride in futile conquest agains villainous wind-mills, imagined to pose serious threats to themselves, their stick-pony and the ideas these politicians nurture.
These politicians don’t care much about anything else than their stick-pony. Thus, they become easy prey to activists in media, NGOs, academia and not least the bureaucracy the same politicians are elected to supervise.
This lures them to deviate from what they were elected to do, and from what is the best actions for their country or community. The Climate hoax is the most obvious and at the same time perhaps the most harmful to the society. Other topics close in harm are limiting free speech to protect the truth and borderless migration.
Still harmful, but not to the same extent are the woke agenda, genderless pronouns, false racism narratives, total digital surveillance, the abandonment of property rights, and many more.
Lärorikt och avslöjande.
