> Maybe you understand it because you accept sociopaths as your representatives? Now, now, let's not be like that. You do NOT have to agree with something to try understanding someone else's point of view or thought processes. Understanding a point of view gives you a better chance of bringing someone around. Also, this isn't limited to politicians. Almost any form of authority, public or private, comes with the same attitudes. Think prosecutorial immunity and the like. Or how some company management views things. There's usually a fair amount of "the ends justifying the means" in there somewhere.
