— Hunter S. Thompson

Simplified Meaning:
Politics can be very harsh and stressful. Politicians often face a lot of pressure, long hours, and difficult decisions. This stress can make the job seem unbearable. Sometimes, people use things like alcohol, cigarettes, or even stronger substances to ease their stress and help them cope. For example, a politician might have a drink at the end of a long day to relax. The quote suggests that without these ways to relieve stress, the tough world of politics would be too hard to handle.
