I assume most people haven’t had physical contact with a politician. I’m probably one of the few in my area, let alone entire state who actively has met with local politicians.

But I’ve had encounters with cops, even without them being called. They’re always the make whiney pissy people.

But politicians shape the will of the state, and the cops enforce the will of the state. I think it’ll be decades before people honestly consider that the party that promises them the moon just to get richer in office doesn’t even know their name, let alone actually care about the people who got them into office.
