HOW WASHINGTON OPERATES.
Allow me to explain to idiots recent events and how politics operate.
A politician is little more then a puppet for lobbyists who they take money from which by the way is legal bribery in a nutshell. The politician, lawmaker or governor etc then look after the lobbyist ensuring their interests are looked after. In return they give them $$ and a lot of it, lobbyists regularly include people from overseas such a Chinese businesses or European special interest groups, Saudis etc. You will learn that Trump himself is a lobbyist and has lobbied for politicians in Europe, Qatar, Britain etc. Prior to being elected he has business and interests in Russia, China, Saudi Arabia etc. In other words he's like the 1% of the 1%. These people can organise massive marches and protests and that drop of hat because of how much money they have, they also own entire media such as Rupert Murdoch and Jeff Bezos.
Now imagine you are a politician who doesn't come through(Hillary) and doesn't do what the lobbyists want. You could end up killing yourself or dying of drug overdose(187). Other situation is you just pay them back. So a politician can be controlled one of two ways, lobbying(bribery) or the second which is more effective blackmail. Lobbyists acquire dirt on you or merely invent it and blackmail you with it and if you don't they smear you with their media or hand over what they have to police or again they can simply put out a 187.
So they actual villains are the companies and businesses, businessmen, and special interest groups that lobby for their purpose which is often not beneficial to the population.
