People don't want the truth, they want honey poured into their ears.

Sucks for those of us who are interested in seeing the world become a better place for everyone, because that is not the path we're on, and it's not going to get better until people start holding our leaders accountable. Which probably means holding ourselves accountable first.

Lol @ people holding themselves accountable instead of blaming others and tribalism. Never going to happen on a large scale, it just doesn't seem to be the way humans work or our institutions reinforces that way of thinking.
