I assume that by "people are waking up" you meant something along the lines of the "wake up sheeple" cliché. If that was a misreading, I apologize—but you'd already posted a full-out ideological battle comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39333085) to this same thread, so the request stands either way.
When you assume you make an ass out of both you and me.
Politicians are insincere and self serving is a common observation not an ideological statement either. The person I quoted would be just as on odious if he belonged to some other political party, read it again.
