And then there is what they say and there is what they do.

They are liars-for-hire, all of them in modern day western politics.
To motivate (indoctrinate) the majority of the public to "democratically" choose what is actually already predetermined and must occur.

And what they do in politics is already paid for by lobby money (half now, half when the job is done)
That makes politics, incl. the president, middle management.

Goverment can pushs laws that benefit them in the long run, hurt or kill people, and they steal from you. That is what they are good at.

Once you know, there is no longer a need to listen to anything they say that will benefit you personally.
The narative is there to play the public, not to inform the public or have you make informed decisions for you and family.

If one then still chooses to keep watching the daily news, and "be informed" by politics, one is hoping that one can change reality by having a strong and persistent imagination. Like changing gender by feeling so, or having a pandemic by fearing it, or having global warming by changing cause and effect and manipulation of scientific papers through (the stop of) funding.

Good luck with that.
