In the olden days, political seasons and Christmas season had no variance as both seasons were seen as festivities and exchange of pleasantries.
You don’t need to be told what politics of today is and how it’s been portrayed by those politicians. It is very clear that it is a game of a do or die affair and anyone engaging in it always come well prepared for that. Politics is now a dirty game and those engage in them are now seen as the bad ones in the society and their words are no more believed to the truth of the matters when they come with one. Everyone believes it is for their own benefits and not for the interest of the people. I don’t live in the past or know how in-depth politics are in those days, if it was worse than this or better than this. From my time to now, politics have not been an encouraging activity to put yourself into and should be avoided by all means for now.
