Politicians don’t seem to have any personal convictions. Kinda sad
This is where we are. Some people see an existential threat to their native country and gear up, to the extent they can, their stomach lining for the struggle they know approaches.
Others, primarily elected officials, do not see nor care about any existential threat to anything but their tenure in public office. They are already engaged in looting their native country for all they can, and the hope is that there is some scrap of meat left on the bone at the moment they get to gnaw on it. Their concern is not that the country dies, but only that there is something for them on the way down or even out.
Again, this is where we are.
