If modern politicians are good at anything, it’s about politicizing everything - making you feel like every decision, every thought, has some far reaching consequence and reflects your principles.

Political ambitions and power grabs are the name of the game and tragedies are the best way to exploit them. As Rahm Emmanuel once said, "never let a good crisis go to waste."
