The complete lack of a sense of humor. The being extremely judgmental, self righteous and preachy. The certainty that they hold a complete monopoly on morality. The eagerness to oppress others.
Yep. They're just like the first group of Puritans at heart.
BTW, I used to mock Lou Dobbs in the 90s for going on and on about illegal aliens and outsourcing all the time. I used to scoff when labor unions would complain about outsourcing and say it was their own fault for being so greedy. I used to think federal law enforcement were the good guys and could mostly be trusted to do the right thing. I supported the Iraq war. I supported big business/Wall Street. I supported Defense Companies. I was for the Patriot Act. I voted for Dubya. I was against tariffs and was for "free" trade.
I look back and all I can say is "ooooof". I have reversed 180 degrees on all of those. The corruption I see today is unbelievable. It is something I never ever thought I would see in the country I grew up in. Given what is going on, it is difficult to even be proud of the country anymore and I've always been fiercely patriotic. I have lost all trust in just about every institution in the country. They've all been corrupted.
“They’ve all been corrupted.”
That’s the key sentence. “They’ve all been corrupted”.
Both the DNC and RNC work together to dole out the various house and senate seats in a way that benefits and works for both parties but does the most harm to the people.
I used to think federal law enforcement were the good guys and could mostly be trusted to do the right thing.
I worked around the FBI, Secret Service, the NSA and some State Department officials about thirty years ago. Other than the State Department they were overall decent people.
The agencies are NOT the same as they used to be.
