Clarence Thomas did the things. He took $$ and didn’t report it. Now he’s claiming the victim.
Trump did the things. He probably did more than just the things.
When Nixon was caught doing the thing, a bunch of his aides were like, you know what we need? Not a party of people who don’t do the thing, a network to defend them when they do the things.
They were open about that. This is not a secret. Or a conspiracy. This is the open goal.
These fucks have somewhat successfully high jacked our democracy.
They’ve been astoundingly successful really. They brought corporate money and religion into politics all while claiming the other guy was the one doing it. They also convinced nearly half of America that the reason everything bad happens/exists is because the government made a law or regulation for the sake of public safety.
In the 60’s I don’t think anyone in America would have thought there were so many chronically stupid and ignorant people in the country. Or that they would stay that way for so many years
It’s truly a marvel really.
Because for some reason, they don’t change. They don’t change for the better or the worse, even. They just stay the exact same, choose to die of pandemics and never believe in climate change, and somehow we have to move on without them or become a Christian Taliban country.
In fairness, they got a lot of power. So it “worked”
