That goes all ways. Inside of all politics are rivers and valleys and persuasions and intensities that are disliked and opposed and credited and loved and hated. It all depends where you are standing and if you are one of the rare humans with a truly open mind.

Politics is really just a popularity contest and not often the selection of the best, but the least offensive. Most decent and honorable people give politics a wide berth.
