I mean, trusting a politician to be lying to get votes is probably a pretty safe bet.

Whomp, whomp to them.
It's like they tried to spray mace into the wind and then were shocked when it came back and hit them in the face.

They expect social values from the guy and the party who wants to get rid of them?
You got it all wrong... it's not them, it the other guys, that are lazy and no good.
See, that's your problem, you're using the dictionary definition of teh word, when what they mean is that they're still not saying the quite part out loud ALL the time...
It's simply a bunch of "respectable" dog whistles that keep getting louder and louder, until he can't ignore it as well as he used to.
Well, that and probably no longer pretending to be upset at their fans when they do say the quite part out loud on twitter.

This post highlights to me a significant failing on our societies part.
We said get out and vote.
We didn't say: "Hey, you should probably know what you are voting for also"

It reminds me of when I was in secondary school and joined the debate team, and at a competition we encountered a debate topic that was, "This house believes democracy is the enemy of the people." And the proposition side basically went with the argument, "Most people are not sufficiently informed to make an informed decision when they vote."
I was on the opposition side, and I remember coming up with a line, "The proposition has made a strong case for why ignorance is the enemy of the people, but not democracy itself." If I recall correctly, my side was the one that won that particular debate.
And now, two and a half decades later, I see that we were both right.

This might be the most appropriate story for this thread, ever.
