It’s a shame though, isn’t it? Many years ago (maybe too long to remember), we use to not only trust our politicians, but rely on them for information. What a turn about these days...
Is this a detriment - maybe due to the internet, or is it a blessing? Remember that we now have little or no support for any politician these days... Seems like they all are dishonest hacks now...
We did trust our politicians. I don’t think it is a bad thing that they are exposed for what they are.
But being a history buff, things are no different today,politically, than they ever have been. Dating back to the Roman Empire and before.
It’s not a bad thing that we are aware. Maybe we can try to keep them in check. (I’m such a dreamer).
