I've been thinking about this lately, and one of the problems is that most politics and government can be boiled down to tribalist behaviour and gross generalization. Us vs. Them. I defend this solutions because they work and are the ones I've always have believed with my pears. The guy in front of me is wrong because (cherrypick some obvious and probably true examples) and doesn't have a clue.
Government could better be performed if done similary to a doctor prescribing to a patient, today you need this treatment, but maybe in a year you have improved enough and you need a touch of the opposite one, and then we have to try something new with this other problem.
But current believes don't let politicians try this (I don't think they even believe it's possible), and even if they tried we voters wouldn't trust this kind of "changing sides".
If X policy worked so well till now, why I'm not going to apply it to every problem we have or imagine we have?
Of course it's more complex than this (as it's just a generalization) but I have not seen this said in too many places.
