Don’t believe is basically the same as don’t care.
Corruption happens. It’s a long tradition in politics. Since Watergate more people acknowledge it, but it goes back to the early days. The Daley Machine, Tammany Hall. It’s just how things work.
We differ on this.
And I do think if someone doesn’t believe something, it doesn’t mean they don’t care, IMO. Sometimes, people can’t bring themselves to believe something, and I think that is an element of human nature in some people. They may care deeply about something but cannot face the truth. (That is what I am referring to)
I see a distinct difference in outlook, morals, behavior and beliefs in conservatives vs. liberals, and I don’t think both are the same. (Though I do believe in elements of the “Uniparty” theory as some here call it. I find it hard to distinguish the difference between Republicans who toe the line on leftist policies (those we call RINO) and the Democrats who propose the policies in the first place.)
The foundations of what we see in American leftist politics of the last 50 years has more (historically speaking) in common with the Soviet Union than it does with America, in my opinion.
