In Europe, Germany is being held up as doing the right things. As opposed to Italy, Spain, France. What I didn’t realize was that Angela Merkel was a former scientist. Nerds rule! Fauci for President!

It's everyone and it always will be. Every elected person has to address every situation with the mentality of "what will voters want me to do?". Or perhaps, "what do I want voters to think I'm doing?" If they didn't do that they wouldn't be re-elected. We all, in theory, want our politicians to do the right thing and tell the truth about it, but in reality they're going to do what they think their voters want, or if they can't then they'll try to tell them what they want to hear. We can't expect anything other than politics from politicians. When someone gets a job by winning a popularity contest they're going to be somewhat narcissistic to begin with. The ones who keep the job the longest are the ones with the most narcissistic tendencies because they'll have the greatest skill at deflecting, equivocating, and outright BS'ing. I hope this doesn't count as a lent issue. I'm not naming any persons or parties and it's more of an indictment of electoral processes in general. The problem of course is that every other method is worse.
