Politicians create shitty conditions and then they're surprised that populace is not willing to bail them.

Who tolerated those politicians if not the people? Or more to the point, who created them? Who created those conditions if not the people who supported those politicians you castigate? It's not like politicians are bespoke people created out of whole cloth. They come from somewhere. Whence?

I think both you and @The Grand Nudger are a lot closer in perspective than might seem apparent.
