If disliking politicians as a default setting is 16 year old simpleton thinking, let's go through a couple of examples, see where they excel on the Nolan principles...

I suspect anyone you name would fall short, and we would probably fall back to a default position.

It was disliking them and…..

But im bored of hearing Dems good, this new situation is unprecedented, Republicans are aiming for authoritarianism, like they arent all at the same game, the same grift.

Its a big club and none of us are in it

Oh, you believe we are in the club?
 
So, in addition to threatening to send the national guard to Illinois for policing (not their role), he's now threatening to withhold federal funding allocated to a project in Illinois by Congress unless the governor personally calls him to request the funding be released.

Just to be clear, the president does not have the authority to simply refuse to release funds allocated by Congress and there is no requirement whatsoever for governors of the states to request the funding personally. This is a threat to break the law and is what Trump was impeached for the first time.
 
Aggregations of recent approval polling from The New York Times and RealClearPolitics place Trump's approval at 43% and 45.3%, respectively, with disapproval rates of 53% and 51.5%, as of Aug. 27. These averages include the four most recent polls national polls listed below.

Extortion - it's just about the only thing Trump actually knows anything about

See I know deep down you care about people which makes me think you’re better than this whole “all politicians are the same” schtick.

There’s a lot of people in the world, some of them are even politicians, who actually care about people and want to do good.

Wait hang on...

When did I say they were the same? They are all very different, but they are shades of bad, and too many of them shouldn't be anywhere near power.

But you keep saying its a shtick, without offering up examples to disprove my disdain on them

You’re saying they’re all the same in that they’re all bad. Bad because they’re politicians.

They’re all in the same club, playing the same game, the same grift.
