This is Why Racism and Religion Are So Prevalent in U.S. Politics
Dirty politics isn't even the word.
Yes, some politicians are just outright bigoted.
But this? No, this is different. This is bigotry — and then some.
I know I’ve seen this before.
Growing up in the developing world, I’ve seen countless examples of politicians with an unmatched lust for power — but with no qualifications to match. They don’t have administrative or technical experience and, more often than not, nor do they have real degrees.
And that’s where the problem starts.
You see, when a politician doesn’t have a positive track-record or qualifications to fall back on, they make vague words, grand statements, and lies their USP. That’s the cover-up. That’s so you don’t see the chinks in their armour. So where the traditional politician, with say decades of experience, expertise, or a plethora of degrees, comes up with a logical and thorough answer to a question, a man like Donald Trump will respond with, “We will do amazing things, I’m telling you. It’ll be so great.”
In an age of populism, that’s what that lures a crowd in. But if you want to win elections, you need to make them stay.
