The game of politics is so inherently corrupt that even if a good, honest person gets elected they can't accomplish anything unless they jump in the swamp with the swamp creatures. As soon as they do that they are compromised and if they don't they likely get nothing done and replaced by someone who will the next election.

If more people would just acknowledge this fact we'd be much better off.

A sense of homelessness is a massive fear for most people. That is one of the best explanations of the rise of US nationalism in recent years. It's completely understandable.

I've come to believe that most of political positioning is based on your personality more than thinking. Reading the Righteous Mind really opened my eyes to why I am not on the red or blue team from a non-ideological angle. I'm far more comfortable with new things and have less fear of non-conforming thought.
