This is really sad.
But I think it is the result of most of the people having come from the Mexican political system if you can call it that.
they are so used to their politicians being corrupt, they have just come to accept it. they are so used to the patron system where if you suck up to the big guy he’ll get free stuff for you.
they’ve never known anything else, and of course the school system teaches them that americans are all white evil racists and so you should grab anything you can get because that’s ‘socialism’.
Between the two things there’s not much hope.
This is one of the most corrupt medium size cities I have ever seen. From school district, to county commissioners, to even the police. Many of them are now on their way to prison, only to be replaced by the same types of crooks; who will lay low for a while, to only follow in the former corrupt footsteps of those who have gone before! Ah yes the wonderful Rat party!
