It is wild indeed. Who then would have thought that the GOP was such an empty carcass that they would become the party of big government, protectionist import taxes. They will jettison any and every principle to retain the votes of Trump’s base.

Its wild how the left and Oprah loved Trump back in the day. Also wild how he hasn't really changed...
Reminds me of how the left loved Elon.
Now, the right is joke as well. They have no anchor either. Just fascinating to watch.

Both parties operate this way. Politicians typically, almost all of the time have no actual character. They have one guiding principle. Get votes. Most are hollow people that simply want power and prestige. Democracy leads to this. Its just how the incentives work.
We need a cultural reset. We need to base our society on ancient moral bedrock. I believe we need to return to christian orthodoxy. We have a void where there once was a morality.
I would instantly distrust the people claiming to define the ancient moral bedrock. Who TF are they? Hypocrites, typically.
My reading of American history, starting with the Jamestown Colony itself, is that the only resilient principle in this culture is the pursuit of wealth.
