I think you're missing the point that it's not grandma down the street that's got the bad faith motives. You can make as many politically opposing friends as you want that isn't going to prove that the people paid 6 figure salaries while still being paid insane amounts through lobbying are making sound logical decisions based on what's best for the people.
- freedomben 3y agoThanks that's fair criticism. There's definitely a big difference between Grandma down the street and John congressman the political animal. Though even among politicians I've found the same patterns. There are a higher percentage of partisans than in the general population, but they still have the same underlying motives. In my experience they tend to be more jaded, and tend to overly trust others or under trust based on the color of jersey they are wearing, but they mostly have good motives* *Excepting corrupt people, which motives don't matter because their selfishness takes priority
