Thick skins

If you haven't got a thick skin stay out of politics.

An acquaintance of mine seems to have a very thin skin despite trying to be a politician. They cannot argue their case, descending into laughable rhetoric and desperate arguments to try to make their case. It doesn't help that their other acquaintances are equally unimpressed by their arguments.

Now the acquaintance has got on his high horse because we all rip the p*$$ whenever they pontificate, but he fails to recognise the nonsense he spouts.

Politics is a nasty game, and if you can't do it, stay out.
