Who are these people? They don’t read the bills they sign, no rudimentary understanding of music, and they talk about it as such like it’s normal.

Probably the same idiots that believe rage against the machine went woke at some point in their career.

They're the salt of the earth, you know, morons

The answer is they don't care. Facts are a plaything for conservatives.

What matters to them is power - and for that you don't need to be right, you just need to be convincing. That's why they engage so much in misinformation, blatant ragebait, etc..

They are rewarded for pretending to know what they are talking about, and they are chosen for their loyalty. Zero awareness or intelligence.

Like their bible, it says whatever they want it to say even if it says the opposite of what they say it says.

Many of the people that make it into politics are there for the sake of power. Governance and whatever political sports team they wear a jersey for is secondary. That's how you get varying levels of knowledge about what a government is/does, none of the application for it, and lots of political theater. There are a few that actually care and legitimately try, but they're so booooooring and lame and no one actually wants to hear news coverage over legislation. Media and politicians care about actually cool things like that one outrageous thing some other politician said or some vague inactionable speech about why you should elect them.

Empty husks of human beings, willing to say whatever the people with the money want them to say
