It’s a dangerous thing. Because if you talk to some of these legislators they can easily hand over the same excuse about it being their belief as the voters who believe in that. But the scary thing is, as hard as it is to admit, many of them genuinely believe in the thing they vote for.
Maybe in places like the house or congress it’s a skew towards money and power, but it exists especially in local government. It’s easy to completely dehumanize them by saying they’re just paid to do it but the much more real situation is that it’s genuine.
