Trump is the king of deflection, Hillary became crooked, Cruz became Lying, Marco became little, negative reporting became fake...

Isn't it weird how the liars and corrupt criminals pushed debunked claims that the Bidens are the ones who are corrupt and should be investigated? And I mean "weird" in the sense that justice is finally being served on this corrupt Republican administration.

I don't expect anything to come of it, really. Trump was an obvious con-man from the start. It's been surreal to just watch this guy get away with everything right in front of everyone's faces and so many people just not notice or care.

Typically I disagree with Republicans on policy, but I could at least respect that they had different solutions for the goal of trying to improve the country. Even if I thought their approach was wrong, I could at least respect they had different values.

This time I don't see any values. Just a bunch of people cheering on some guy like it's a sporting event. Like winning is the only thing that matters regardless of how it is done. There's no sense of morality or integrity in the core of the right now. A few lonely voices beg for sanity but are drowned out by the chorus of people who fall in line.

It's starting to build a little in the left too. Not quite as bad as in the right, yet. But given time it might become that.

@ViciDraco [quote]It’s starting to build a little in the left too.[/quote] You think the [i]left[/i] no longer has values, that all we care about now is winning? How do you see that?

@JP1119 I said starting to build. It can be seen in the fringes but not yet the mainstream. We have blind followers and cheerleaders ourselves and we need to watch out that we don't fall prey to them.

The most visible example right now is the "Defeating Trump is our number one issue" line of thinking pervasive in the party. We all need to remember that Trump is not a cause, he is a symptom. If we remove Trump with a candidate that isn't focused on the underlying problem then we might even get someone worse than Trump in the near future.

The left is a heck of a lot better on values than the right, but if you fail to acknowledge any problem it shall grow to consume as it has the Republican party.
