At a time like this when sentiment runs hot to “throw the bums out”, it’s also important to keep an eye on who might try to get in. The fact that someone opposes the current regime is not a platform to run on, and the fact that you agree with something they’ve done or said doesn’t mean they did or said it for the right reasons.
Before you support a person or a cause, be sure they don’t have a hidden agenda of their own. Verify, then trust.
