The fact that someone this corrupt continues to have a political career says more about America than anything else.
it says a lot about the political coverage in the media and half of the voting population, but I'm not sure it says something about all of us. some of which were raising alarms and flags for 50 years (I'm not that old but I know people that were) and were ignored. sometimes intentionally.
In history it's often portrayed as thirds.
A third is complicit in supporting fascist ideology
A third are active in fighting against fascist ideology
And a third are ignorant of any side and don't care if one or the other is supported so long as they are able to eat, have shelter and get by.
It's the ignorant masses that are the most volatile because all that's needed is a brief moment of their attention to change the course of history.
I have been speaking out against Donald Trump since he made the comment in his debate with Hillary Clinton about keeping us in suspense when they asked him if he’d accept the results if he lost.
In all of this time I have changed only one mind. ONE.
I said then, “I promise you, if he loses, he’ll claim it was stolen.” “No he won’t. He’s just making a show of it. He’s a really smart man and he’s playing with these career politicians.”
He won.
When he ran again, I reminded them of what he said in the debate with Hillary Clinton. When he lost, he did exactly what I said he would do (what HE said he would do). It didn’t matter that he won the last time. Still, nearly all of them said, “Well, they cheated the first time but they didn’t cheat hard enough. They cheated this time and Covid helped with voting by mail. Dead people voted.”
Even though he told them all EXACTLY what he would do if he lost, they still followed whatever he said after that and made excuses.
It blows my fucking mind.
In Norway, we have had a wave of politicians leaving their minister posts or other high positions due to tax evasion on use of governmental appartments, small incidents of inside trading and lack of citations/plagiarism on their master thesis. It all seems so small nd innocent comparred to what Trump has done while still running strong for his party.
This is a reflection of America ... not of Trump
