Anyone who can see this & still engage in some form of mental gymnastics to avoid seeing that the US govt is totally corrupt is both an idiot & a coward.

This is beyond what even I would have imagined they’d stoop to. Insane.
Well, I mean they killed Seth Rich & called it "a failed robbery" when nothing was stolen. They waited 3 years to go after Trump on made up charges in an election year, when that didn't work they just tried shoot him. I wouldn't say this is hard to imagine, but it's incredibly obvious what they are doing which kind of signals that they aren't even trying to hide it anymore.
maybe idiot or coward - or maybe just brainwashed. we all suffer from it, we just don’t know it yet. but yeah this Tulsi thing is fucking amazing!
I come from a third would country. So I assume all governments, in the fiat land, get corrupted irreparably sooner or later, and the pace of downhill is gradually then suddenly
Perhaps this will further disillusion "the Left left me" crowd
I can't speak for everyone, but I know growing up in America, being taught what it was and what it is and what it's supposed to stand for definitely does not match up to many things we see today.
For me, over the last several years (tiny cracks in the narrative started after 9-11), I've watched a layer here and layer there fall apart. When you face it, it causes an emotional grieving to take place.
When you really look at it and see things for what they are -- I know I went through a grieving process.
I still have hope for America, but I no longer pretend it's something that it isn't. It was disheartening to come to understand just how far back the rabbit hole goes.
Many Americans today are either waking up and beginning that grieving process so they can find their forward or, like you mention here, they stay willfully ignorant.
But now I know why.
Many people cannot face the truth of what things have become. It' too much.
If they did, it means the narrative they've been taught to support all these decades isn't 100% true. And if that's not 100% true, what does that mean for their life, the choices they thought they were making back in the day, and for some, even the military service they took part in.
Then let's say they get through all of that, process it, grieve it, etc. Now what?
Now they can see the corruption in the places it exists and they can kind of predict the behavior and see the propaganda where they couldn't before.
Some will get through this part and feel completely hopeless and despondent because they feel like they will never be able to change things.
It's a huge mental crack and most people cannot bear it.
I never want to lose that hope that things will turn around, but I'm definitely more guarded about the impact of the corruption.
Shit like this has been going for a very long time. I still cringe at the number of people who still think that terrorists where responsible for 911.
For me, I will never fly commercially again unless it is a forced situation.
Until people take a hard stance to fight the governmental over reach, it is going to continue.
