Personally, I like this story because it talk about a political aspects are straightforward.
The story is fun, not boring. Whether a book version or Movie Series
Unlike some country around here. That can't be a parody or talk about politics much.
There is less freedom. But in the United States can do, Is not illegal
If a Movie Series version. Can discuss what is really very straightforward. Whether it be the White House
Democratic Party or Republican Party. Can be used Without fear of arrest by the government.

Personally, I read the book version. and see the movie series version as well. Now, has a release Movie Series Season 4
The protagonist of the story named Francis Underwood (Frank Underwood), he is governments member.
In politics for a long time. After the election, He was betrayed by the president.
He promised to give Francis to the incumbent Foreign Minister.
But he breaks a promise. Caused him to do whatever to authority scramble and revenge.
The story made me think about the politics of Thailand. Coup d’etat and revolution by Soldier in many times, again and again.

However, it was just a matter of power or political benefits
In the world of politics, People in this politics, society can do everything. Whether my own Or partisan
Can't trust anyone, because may be betrayed at any time. Or maybe slander by your opponent.
Politics, most has the benefits in political. for the opportunity in my career/position
Even if relatives or citizen will be affected by his actions.
There are many plans to blackmail, slander and scandal. To hurt opponents tactfully. For the benefit of himself, make opponent has fought among themselves.
politics is a big cinema.

I believe that people came by unfair way. Whether by blackmail a friend, betray and other
Or came to power by illegitimately. Like the revolution, coup d’etat  or whatever.
The power will not be permanent, Stay with us for not a long time
If we got betrayal by others, But we a vengeance. It would make my life is miserable.
because, you must always think of vengeance.

We should accept the decision of the leader. Although sometimes it is difficult to accept.
Not thinking to revenge or usurp that power.
Finally, I want to tell everyone to appreciate what you have received. If it's not exploited or deprived of rights.
Unless, if you got a deprived of rights, you should fight with justice.
