    Is not that they don’t know.

    All of them know.

    The moderate Democrat politicians know they are a doormat for the corporate donor class. They refuse to enact meaningful change because then they lose their corporate donor money (and they’d have to do real work.)

    MAGA politicians know they are betraying America to be a doormat for Donald Trump. They refuse to stand up to him because then they lose their billionaire donor money/Trump pardon protection (and they’d have to grow a conscience).

    Our government has been captured by dejected cynics and sadistic sociopaths who only work for and represent people with a lot of money.

      This is by design. A country for the rich by the rich from the start. And people have the gall to act surprised at the corruption that was there from the start. Our first President was set to become the world’s first billionaire adjusted for inflation. If he had not died so young he would have.
