work because of shared constructs and conventions that are fictions. Religion, nation states, liberal democracy, kleptotocracies, the law, feelings, all are made up. We have one side of the political spectrum using the tools of sociopaths regularly and on the other side a PM who is pretty honest. Trudeau's stories are indeed truthfull in their ends about growing the middle class and saving the environment. The right's are not. The conservatives are not for liberal democracy. We have got to grow up and be a bit more sophisticated. And not die of purity when it comes to politics. And not vote for conservatives who lie every single time they open their mouths.
