(4,341 posts)56. I am with you...
I just read a bunch of defeatist posts some times, and I refuse to give up, but that small change you made is perfect. Kleptocracy is as bad as a dictatorship because the level of corruption is 100 fold, that is what is happening in countries like Venezuela, the efforts of the kleptocracy is linear, all they want to do is fill their coffers and ruin the country, all infrastructure, all industry goes on the wayside and destruction is rampant. Lets hope we don't go there, but we as citizens must not give up, we must not allow it.
I have confidence that we will not allow it, the the powers that be will not let it happen.

I share your outrage. Infotainment has normalized so much, I wonder if we will survive this.
