The hard right doesn't have a moral compass

Things we know:

The philistines are in charge

It’s all about money and status

Dishonesty and corruption are the current currency of power

They are ruthless and shallow and not terribly bright

They have no allegiance other than to selfish endeavour

They have no centring other than to the grift, the racket

However, remember this…

The racket is not a long term strategy to retain power. This cannot hold together, goodness will out, and this time of venality and the attempted destruction of ethics and decency will pass… just wish it would bloody well hurry up!

People are just a commodity meant to be used and abused for more more more.
