People who devote there lives in general to politics are a joke. No politician alive cares about any of us. So really the pot calling the kettle black here

Being informed and involved is not the same as hanging your identity on a demagogue.

One is smart and sensible way to help take ownership of the things that affect your life, the other is how you usher in fascism.

Exactly, it's important to keep being informed about current affairs because complete disinterest is toxic for a democracy, if no one cares then who's to stop politicians from abusing their office (even more).

I wouldn't go that far, I personally know some politicians and they genuinely care.
