A staple part of American politics seems to be the very clear (really?) difference between left and right wing. The right represent a bunch of rednecks bent on getting rich, love guns and don’t like people getting to liberal on their own patch of earth. They are often seen as the most patriot-style Americans, even though there country is built on the labour of immigrants, including themselves. They just conveniently forgot about the genocide of the American Indians.
The left are meant to be the people that love education, are bent on turning their country into a European style socialist state (why that’s a bad thing I don’t know. The US doesn’t offer any form of government insurance, and with it being projected that 16% of their entire GDP will be spent on healthcare in 2020, they got some issues), and are wasteful spenders of hard earned tax dollars.
There are a whole bunch of other stereotypes, but I won’t delve into that. The thing that vexes me is that instead of one being blue and the other red, they are both actually yellow in that essentially they believe in the same things (almost) but still act like agreeing with one another is paramount to siding with the devil.
In South Africa, we are faced with the same retarded lunacy of policy and ideological distinction between capitalists, counter-revolutionaries, revolutionaries and political plots targeted at individulas. Give me a fucking break.
The issue rests that if politicians actually gave a shit about the people they are meant to be representing, they would find a way of working around their differences. But as we all know, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Far be it from their title of being ‘public servants’ to actually be accurate.
Can we ever trust politicians? Some how I have my doubts.
