It’s hard to say exactly where it went off the rails. Around the 1st week of November 2016 would probably be a good place to start. Regardless of any specific turning points, it all boils down to power and greed. I have personally concluded that human nature is NOT good, fundamentally motivated by power and greed. The rest of the world just stacks up on top of that.
Corrupt Institution: Anthony Fauci: “We’re not set up for that.”
Criminal Leader: Donald Trump: “I don’t take responsibility at all.”
Corrupt Institution: “It’s not clearly established that you’re not allowed to tear gas people for a photo op.” (sic)
Failed Diplomacy: “The optics of the Israeli-Emirati deal will be that the Arabs have “betrayed” the Palestinian cause.”
Corrupt Institution: “Betsy DeVos is everything Donald Trump said is wrong in America–an ultra-wealthy heiress who uses her money to game the system and push a special-interest agenda that is opposed by the majority of voters. Installing her in the Department of Education is the opposite of Trump’s promise to drain the swamp.”
Criminal Leader: “This report tells us everything we suspected: The emergency was a sham. It was cooked up to get around congressional review of a bad policy choice.”
Failed Diplomacy: “China has rejected Mr. Trump’s call to investigate the Bidens.”
I could keep doing this all day. The problem is, as Carl so astutely pointed out, “people see what they want to see.” …read what they want read and think what they want to think. That last part is the dangerous one. You can make people think whatever you want. At least for awhile, until you get too busy covering up the truth.
