A political party is just like a dedicated sports team. People will blindly support their team and stay loyal to them regardless of their performance. If anyone says a bad thing about their team they will defend them and attack anyone who criticises their team.
I personally do not care for politics or sports. It makes no difference which side is in government or which team wins the championship. It makes no difference at all in my life. So why bother if political side blue, green or red or whatever is in government? I do not vote and I have no time to listen to white haired middle aged men argue over pathetic issues.
One person will claim they are right and argue the other person is wrong. What if both sides are wrong? Politicians pretend to be experts in most fields and are know it alls. They read prepared speeches on issues they know little or nothing and appear to be enlightened.
BTW: What is the Patriot Act? Being from outside of the USA, I have never heard of it.
