There is a bit of a self-correcting apparatus built into that kind of greed, though. The Kushner types are thoroughbred parasites; they still need a living host to keep sucking wealth out of. The newer breed of Trump sycophant is just ripping the copper wire out of the walls. We've hit the crackhead era.

Yeah, I'm afraid of this. I'm afraid of the US ending up being a husk of a nation akin to Russia. The worst Kushner-style parasites would do is mold the US into China, which at least resembles a functioning nation.

This current lot wants to steal and sell anything not bolted to the foundation and then sell the foundation to the highest bidder.

Maybe if he does enough damage and everyone really feels it for a while it will change things. I've always said the only way politics will change is if the Republicans actually get their way for once. Well they're getting their way now. Even Trump's first term was mostly the same as earlier conservatives--a tax cut and then pretty much nothing. This is just all of their extreme desires being carried out. Every republican is going to feel it.

I'm hoping that this is the case, but this administration is corrupting everything so quickly and thoroughly it will be very difficult to fix.
