Politicians can not be trusted,
I say you trust politicians at your own risk. It is very difficult to see sincere politicians in a corrupt environment. If there is high corruption in your country and you trust any politician who has been a politician since the corruption, you do that at your own risk of disappointment. Not all politicians are the same, but all politicians are not so different.
Politicians is deadly and nobody can trust politicians so anyone who is dropping a politician is at an acidic as you said but I know that we have an honest politicians who are sincere also only thing they do is to protect their own interests but they cannot eliminate you because of a political problem so it differs from the politicians we know today
