Kindred,
How easy is it for adversaries to divide and conquer?
How easy is it for Satan to tempt people into sins and depravity; divide and conquer your soul?
When people fail to obey the commandment to love thy neighbor as self, corruption becomes prevalent in disobedience of the Lord.
Politics is basically governance of the people.
How we govern, does not change the fact that the politicians governing are public servants and serve the people.
While governing, acts of abuse of power, poor intelligence, malfeasance, crimes against humanity, treasonous and Judas betrayals, does not necessarily mean the system is broken, but the people running it are likely broken, without honor, compassion and humanity.
As public servants, politicians serve the interest of the people, not self interests in selfish gains of power and greed.
How does it serve the people and humanity to abuse power in aggression and crimes against humanity?
How does a people become prosperous and peaceful in destruction and depravity?
Instead of focusing the thoughts of the people into disobedience against the Lord and divisions, focus the hearts and minds of the people on the Lord and the Teachings; and focus on innovations and creative endeavors that will actually serve humanity, not corrupt and destroy.
