    Politicians’ religion is money and power. Other religions are just a way to manipulate mass opinion.

      This is a very cynical take, but I’m going to be more cynical and say that, no, I still think that some politicians are religious wackadoodles. Power flows not to the just, and not even to the Machiavellian, but with a high degree of randomness. The world is chaos, and not even the most powerful can tame it.

        It took six decades to get here, I’m hard-headed, you know? I didn’t want to believe it, but I can’t live in denial, anymore.

        The world is chaos,

        Sure

        and not even the most powerful can tame it.

        One side makes plans and can’t manage random variables; the other rides the lightening with audacity and wins. IDK how that works. If we’re doing cliché, fortune favors the bold, I guess? 🤷‍♀️
