Here's a theory: The hyper-connected modern society create a new ecosystem that our ancient brains are easily affected by media , disinformation, marketing strategy, manipulation supported by big data etc. In the ecosystem the more electable candidates happened to be good actors that are very good at acting , and deception not only to the public but also to themselves. Dishonest is a feature for having a better odds to win the elections in modern time. Not a bug. Statistically people get more dishonest politicians who are very good at being elected. It happened to accompanied with other traits. Dishonest is one of them. Another one , a more dangerous one then dishonest, is that they cause more conflicts and wars by inspiring "good" people fighting against "evil" with illusions that they stand in a high moral ground. The victims of this feature are in none-western countries. So the perceived impacts are less then dishonest. If the theory is true, then complaining about individual politicians doesn't work. The root cause of the problem which is reflected in statistics would be ignored.
