I used to naively believe those who are in charged of running the country must be wise beyond comprehension at a level I could probably never achieve.

Although that might still be true for some legislators, people like that Las Vegas mayor really changed my mindset.

You have to go university/college to become a politician so being smart is a requirement. They're all smart.

Same.

Also knowing people who participate in local government made me realize that idiots get elected.

Just come back and let us know when you figure it out. Everyone is on their own time, it's okay.

No, they are smart. They know what they are doing. They're screwing us over.

I had the opinion as a young punk teen that the government was bullshit and all politicians are evil liars, and 25 years later I pretty much still hold that opinion. They are all human filth, liars, criminals, and care about money. We elect the one that lies to us the best.

Some definitely are. Makes it easier for them when there's also dumb people who are easy to manipulate surrounding them.
