The politicians don't think they're the bad guys, or they just don't care. They're getting whatever they want.

The 30% who approve of the President also don't think they're the bad guys. They're getting what they voted for.

But his approval rating was circa 55% when he was elected, and the delta of 25% are the ones who should be asking this question. They voted for this; this is exactly what he said he was going to do. Why have they changed their minds now that he's actually doing it?

I don't really think of the first two groups as "the bad guys" any more than I think of cancer and mosquitoes as bad guys. They're just doing what they do. Democracy was supposed to protect us from them, as long as they weren't a majority of people.

The third group... they're the bad guys. They should be ashamed of themselves. And I don't think they are. I think they're planning to make the same mistakes again and again, and keep wondering why they're unhappy about it.
