Really? So no politician caused the problems we have today starting from open borders to sending our money to the Ukraine when it’s need here?
Politicians react, they rarely act independently. Sometimes they are actual puppets in the hands of actual puppeteers, sometimes they are just dust in the wind, driven here and there by anything and everything. Only very rarely are they the cause of anything.
All your problems come from what the culture is telling politicians.
Open borders for instance are the effect of interest groups acting on politicians, from a mixture of motives.
