“so the buyer of a politician isn’t any less repulsive than the politician who can be bought.”
You are absolutely correct. Funny how they totally want to ignore this. The Donald is just as corrupt as the politicians the tRumpsters claim to hate.
It’s simply the cult of personality.
By extending their logic, not even the corrupt politicians are culpable, since they are simply working within the system in which they find themselves. Where does it end? Is there ever any moral responsibility?
