Short but powerful piece.
This ends badly no matter how you slice it.
As they say, all politics are local. This all starts at the local level, up to and including school boards, which we are seeing now.
Show me a ‘Republican County Commissioner, City Councilman/woman, State Rep/Senator” and I’ll show you a person that MAY have wanted to be elected for legitimate reasons, but then turns into a greedy POS that uses their position to get rich. Then toss in their handlers in the County/State GOP apparatus and we continue to get more and more of the same.
Donald Trump challenged that and turned that upside down. His wealth afforded him the ability to not have to go to the RNC with his hand out. His statements and language forced the MSM to give him free publicity whenever he wanted it. He played them.
But, they rallied and stood shoulder to shoulder, so they could get rid of him and us. Next year will be interesting.
The problem is that politicians today want to “make a difference.” They are not there to be good stewards of the public trust, they (or their backers) want to be the movers and shakers.
