The Hill Discovers Politicians Have 'Motives,' 250 Years After Constitution
In a stunning exposé, The Hill bravely pondered if Donald Trump's focus on 'blue states' during his fraud allegations might, just might, be politically motivated. One might recall similar 'political motives' when, for instance, key congressional figures consistently vote to send billions in aid abroad after receiving significant 'campaign contributions' from foreign policy advocates. But that's
just standard practice for 'bipartisan support.' It appears 'political motives' only raise 'questions' when the target is politically disagreeable. How many think pieces will dissect the obvious before we acknowledge that power—and the pursuit of it—is indeed a motivator for politicians? The Hill seems utterly baffled by such a revelation. Perhaps next, they’ll investigate if campaign donations
influence policy (spoiler: they do, demonstrably ).
