The show The Traitors is a perfect encapsulation of why democratic countries get stuck with awful politicians. It demonstrates how easily people are manipulated into voting against their own interests. How many people are driven by “vibes” which they refer to as their gut which mostly boils down to unconscious biases and siding with people who they want to be friends with rather than trying to figure out who is being deceptive. Australia season 2 is a particularly alarming example.
