Twin goal posts of censorship and authoritarianism. As long as individuals focus on the tribal identity and blame the 'other', the charade continues uninterrupted. Try to ignore the votes as much as possible.

Politics rewards dishonesty. All of the incentives are there. What else can be expected? Of course, true believers in Democracy will say, "We'll just vote out the bad ones". How is that working out?
