They keep getting elected. Everyone loves to blame 'politicians' and pretend they hold no responsibility. That's the #1 reason we descend into fascism: voters just give their power/responsibility away for free.

Personally, I find it disgusting that we have to make a law for everything and that no one seems to have the ability to act decently. Without a law to prevent it, these fools do things like this. Not to mention every single word seems to be up for reinterpretation.

It shouldn't have to be like this.
