From the mind of critic: “If conflicts of interest are the very foundation of corruption, and we could agree corruption is a bad thing no matter what side of the political spectrum we’re on, will we stand up to stop it ,when it’s authenticity is undeniable? If somebody bounces back and forth between the political community and the business community, governing the same things they profited on and then goes back to profiting on them when they’re done with government, is that corruption? If somebody continues to proft off of business ventures when they’re in office, but does it through back channels because they don’t want the public to know, is that corruption? If sombody not only profits off of businesses but does so openly and unapologetically to the point that their name is on the sides of buildings, they’re charging the secret service to protect them and will personaly see money rolling in from foreign governments because of services rendered, is that corruption? Or will we be blinded by all the racism, sexism and lying meant to obscure that corruption? I would say we’re entering a whole new era on January 20th, but anybody who has been paying attention since the beginning of the great American experiment, would know that’s not true. All of this has happened before. Now, we’re winessing the natural evolution of everything that was swept under the rug to be dealt with at a later date. Well the rug has not only been pulled up, it has been burned, spreading it’s ashes all over the country because that later date is here. Will we finnaly admit that corruption exists in all people, and we will fight tooth and nail to stop it no matter where we find it? Or will we continue to support corruption, because we see our side as finnaly able to get away with it? Facts and truth do matter, and they do exist. Will we stop lying to ourselves in time to see that?” 🙂
