Let’s Play This Politics!

First, let me clearly state that politics is not one of the scales for measuring intelligence, brilliance or dumbness. So, coming here to express disappointment that I don’t sound as you would want me to or in line with your own political view, then you turn around to benchmark it as an indication of poor intellection on my part, is outright malapropism.
Political decisions are not determined by intelligence. This is why on every side of the political divide there is an equal spread of the good, the bad and the ugly. That one resonates with you and the other turns you off is similar to choosing zeeworld over Super Sports. It’s strictly about interest and passion and they can all be evaluated in relative terms.
There is no guilt tripping or emotion blackmailing about this. It is even not about “the best” person for some people. There are factors that intervene to determine where a political actor stands per time. This is why we trade insult for insult, goodwill for goodwill, brigandage for brigandage.
If you call Yoruba Saboteurs, Fulani Terrorists or Efulefus, rest assured that there is a Brymo by the side who is ready to craft a befitting insult for you and your group too.
Let’s play this politics, and not assume that those not with us are of lower IQ or mean bad for the Society.
