Wisdom on Overblown Political Issues

I don't know if it’s the internet advertising trolls more or if politics have truly just become more cringe and useless these days. Like it’s just seeming like politicians are not making decisions for anything other than their own self-aggrandizing power trips or to help their own political careers. I just don’t get it anymore. Like are these politicians even pro-American? I could almost see them flipping sides the moment things get hairy and it becomes obvious America’s foothold globally starts to wane. We truly need a new generation of politicians who actually care, but sadly the people who major in politics seem to be the exact same group, the people who have ambitions for politics end up being the exact same group, and the people who should be in politics don’t have the connections or networking or past experience needed to get their foot in the door. It’s just a big mess. And tbh, I’m not sure what we can do besides a huge atomic shift (No, not literally).
