The more I learn about politics the more it makes me want to cry. Why so people vote in guys that act like fucking three year olds? 'I WANT THIS! YOU DON'T WANT IT SO I'LL TRY TO FORCE YOU TO DO THIS AND IF YOU DON'T THEN YOU LOSE OUT TOO!'
Lots of unopposed running, mostly. The majority of people don't give enough of a crap to actually run for office, so the idiots that do are guaranteed to make it in by sheer virtue of existing.

The sad fact of politics is that people will mess with you if you ever oppose them.

It also helps that much of our electorate also act like fucking three year olds. Remember, people voted for that guy. They knew what they were getting, and they decided they wanted it.

I wouldn't go that far. I'm pretty sure they don't know what they'll get an try to talk themselves into believing that "this time it will be better". It is easy to believe something if you really want to, no matter how educated or intelligent you are.

It's a one track mindset problem. There are other things they should be doing instead but they just want this one tin on there and by god somehow they are gonna get it aren't they.

This is essentially politics. This is how people tend to behave in response. That is, people are generally in the position of the red-haired fellow. You can draw your own conclusions about the relevance of the corn lobby to this metaphor.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Let me try a different quote.
Quote from: The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli
You must know then, that there are two methods of fighting, one with laws and the other with force: The first is proper to men, the second to beasts, but because the first one often does not suffice, one has to have recourse to the second. Therefore, it is necessary for a prince to know well how to use the beast and the man.

I'm going to try that in court. "Internet snow kitten said so" is a good defense.
