It’s very nature, or what we have allowed it to become, attracts people who merely seek power and not to do good or their duty or any other calling that might be considered noble. It’s a shitty place filled with shittier people because they’re the only type of people who would want to participate in the clown show we call a federal government for powers sake alone.

I've never thought of it this way, but it's California's (or at least Los Angeles) twin cousin in the way it selects for people with awful qualities.
