If we've learn anything from the past, from history, it should be that you should not put your trust into people with power or people seeking to gain power. Someone who doesn't even know you, doesn't have a relationship with you, but promises to provide for you, take care of you, protect you, is someone who will probably steal from you, take advantage over you, hurt you.

You don't need politicians. Invest in yourself and provide for yourself. Seek value in yourself instead of others. Value yourself.
