Sorry but no, politicians have always been cunning. What has changed is that the electorate has become overly stupid. Don't believe me? Watch some TikTok.

i’ll concede to agree with both, but i won’t watch TikTok.

The particular awful habit lawmakers indulge in that offends to no end is (deceit) of choosing some popular label (like, restrictng TikTok) .. only using it to quietly usher-in (bundle in) UNWANTED legislation that would never pass, if they were honest.

i’m not sure when this practice began, but they LOVE it. It’s become so normalized, it goes uncontested.
While the people TikTok-away, i guess.

i believe it began years ago, they keep honing their dishonesty skills as time goes by.
