Before becoming a politician, one should complete a mandatory 1.5 years of social service, divided into three-month periods:

— in nursing care
— in a daycare center
— in a school
— in a medium-sized company
— in retail
— on a farm

All unpaid and voluntary, of course.

@Strandjunker

they are mostly sociopaths.. it wouldn't mean anything to them. Just one more box to check off while climbing the ladder of power.

@Felis_Catus_Domesticus @Strandjunker

Might be uncomfortable enough to at least make the worst of them veer off the political path. (This is not to say they wouldn't veer into something more dangerous for society, but it might at least slow them down?)

@cavyherd @Strandjunker

They are such good liars because they actually believe their own bullshit..

That's hard to counteract externally. To counteract that habit of mind internally within them, forget it.. just forget it.
