I’ve heard it said that politics is not a child’s game. If true, why do so many politicians act like two year olds?

It’s about the effects, not how they act. A two year old can make you very miserable...but they go to sleep, so you at least have a bit of peace. A couple of years later they go to school, so you have less time during each day in which they can inflict their misery on you.

Put that personality type in charge of your country, state or city (or, for that matter, your HOA), and the effects don’t go away when the pols go to sleep because they have appointed minions to carry out their will against you 24/7/365. They won’t go away after a few years, they’ll just tighten the screws on you as they find out how people cheat the system and close those “loopholes” down.

As the saying goes, you may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in YOU.
