I think that makes you a capitalist, not a cynic.

Cynicism is the proper term to describe the longstanding legislative support for clearly stupid, criminally wasteful and demonstrably ineffective punitive measures like the War on Drugs and Three Strikes laws so popular with his sort of Republicans. "We know it doesn't work, but anything that does would mean giving up our principles".

Guy's still a self serving pea-brain. How will decriminalization of weed help the opioid "epidemic" anyway?:confused:

Essentially, if they're already doped up on high-potency legal weed, they won't seek Fentanyl. Rebuilding America so there's hope for a better life beyond the 1% never occurred to him, 'cause you can't do it with police-power.

If you need a term that covers all of the above plus: self-serving weasel, hypocrite, liar, morally bankrupt, selfish, inconsiderate, arrogant, unreliable, annoying, superficial, condescending, inconsistent, ....

I believe the all encompassing term you are searching for is 'politician'.
