I think the more people move up the political ladder, the more they are “forced” to do “evil” things for the “greater good.”

Politics is an inherently dirty business. We see it all the time. Anyone who is “good” usually gets forced out because “the system” runs a candidate against the good people and then “the system” puts a bunch of money behind removing that person.

Political assassinations are also counter intuitive so it’s smart when people are against them. I say they are counter intuitive because it just makes the person in question a martyr.

I can love my country for the good people I share it with, while strongly disliking my country for the things my politicians do.

Best route is to “fix” the political process. How to fix it is not easy because it would need to be fixed by congress… 😅
