It's even easier than that, politicians go where the money is. Sadly there isn't a lot of money to be made by protecting constitutional freedoms and having a nation full of free citizens who decide what is best for them. But there is a lot of money to be made by declaring various persecutions and national emergencies that need to be addressed right now.
Probably more money is spent on people paying to lessen their "global footprint" and the fight for TG equality than feeding homeless kids. Everyone wants to feel like they "saved the planet" or are some kind of "civil rights champion", feeding homeless kids requires real solutions and more effort than liking a facebook post.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
