“Corruption is patrimonialism’s Achilles’ heel because the public understands it and doesn’t like it. It is not an abstraction like ‘democracy’ or ‘Constitution’ or ‘rule of law.’ It conveys that the government is being run for them, not for you.” search.app/B3oTfWts5TgJ...

If Democrats and Republicans in Congress aren’t willing to stand up for American workers (and their DC neighbors), they definitely aren’t going to stand up for NATO or our individual allies.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.
