Bewildering? It’s our DUTY as voters to assume bad faith. That’s the entire reason why our system is supposed to have checks and balances in it: To ensure that the Government doesn’t have carte blanche, because they can’t be trusted to wield power responsibly.

Assuming bad faith is a key and essential part of democracy: Give people powerful jobs, but never, ever trust them to do them well.
