Republicans are extremely committed to their corruption. All-in, as they say. For the war criminals of the Bush years it makes sense. They could have gone to jail. They should have gone to jail. Probably too late now. It's not too late for the Trump crowd. The corruption in the Trump administration was laughable. In a dark, morbid kind of way since they, too, got hundreds of thousands of people killed. Americans, in this instance. Not that Americans didn't get needlessly killed in the Bush years.
The Trump boys did it with incompetence, ignorance, arrogance and vanity. Recall Trump's wanting a show of 'gratitude' before releasing supplies to suffering people, supplies that were not his and belonged to the public. What a lowlife highlight. And recall his considering whether those who were being ravaged were Democrats, who were disproportionately affected earlier on, or Republicans who were affected more later by being stupid enough to listen to Trump. A superlative asshole move.
I'd say it's up there with Bush using 9/11 to put through a bunch of stupid partisan shit, like cutting taxes on the rich while burning through enough money to rebuild the country's entire infrastructure in the process of destroying an entire region of the world, accomplishing nothing and creating over 30 million refugees. Bush also crashed the world economy just like Republican laissez-faire capitalists did in the 1920s thereby empowering Hitler. So he caused the autocratic upsurge we see today.
But Republicans are in denial. They're passing laws against truth. In Florida and Texas, for example, so white children will never learn what their daddies and granddaddies and on back did in the culture wars. They kicked some ass. And we see how powerful that denial is because we can't do anything that makes sense. Only make rich people richer. Period. Forever. End of story. That's what corruption is for. And the American economy. Rape the world, if you must. But the rich got to have more.
