In the end of the day Democracy is not about electing representatives that
defend your interests. Nowadays you pick a tribe based on what you feel good
about and it turns into a tribalistic Us-vs-Them. People only realizes the
politicians they are empowering with their votes are bad when things get so bad
there is no turning back anyway.

This kinds of reminds me of a recent interview with Oscar Puente, a Spanish
minister. During the interview he said he was using State's resources to track
down journalists that critizised him.

"What use is that for the Spanish population," the interviewer said.

"Well, it is useful for the population, and it is certainly useful for me,"
answered Oscar Puente.

The sad fact of the matter is the people who voted for his party is not getting
angry at all because their representative is such an asshole. This guy is still
sitting on his office chair as if nothing had happened, instead of getting
dragged out to a dark alley and beaten to a pulp with pipes.
