The phony in American politics: how voters turn into suckers

<http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/13/american-politics-election-voters-suckers>

"History tells us that the skeptical American people are easily conned
when confronted with the promises of politicians. In 2016, the
hairstyles may have changed but the schtick remains the same"

An important history lesson.  Of course this also applies outside the US
too.  Via Edward Morbius and Irreverent Monk.
