Noah, brought to you by Mutual of Omaha and PBS viewers like youI miss the version of me who could look at actions taken by political figures while in the public eye as anything other than posturing. I used to at least be able to press pause on the cynicism and say “Well hey, at least that one action they just took over there was good.”
It sucks because there likely are people who are in the public eye who are doing some real good in the face of some real evil. But I have a really hard time believing in it. Maybe that’s just the definition of the political machine and I’m just owning up to it fully now. Maybe it’s a uniquely American contrivance.
Either way, I miss the version of me that wasn’t quite this cynical.
