>These people lie with harmful intent and giving them forever infinite benefit of the doubt is wrong.
>stop excusing them and stop helping them.
I 100% agree, though I wish this doubt and non-excuse would be applied unilaterally over all political parties, bureaucracies, and NGO. Trusting someone merely because what they said makes butterflies bubble in our spleen, or worse; Trusting them because of the letter in parentheses appended to their name (R/D), is what got us to this point.
Actions count, and in the case of politics, that means what the laws DO -the actual application and implementation, which is usually entirely glossed over by most voters, and just blamed on the other guy.
Don't listen to politicians; They are paid to lie. Listen to your fellow citizens, who are like you forced to deal with this mess, and are pitted against each other by liars and thieves.
