It's bad..and when you think it's bad it's usually 100 times worse.
There are too many authoritarians ,psychopaths and charismatic bullies in power and so very little checks on these horrible personalities they will do worse much worse than they will ever say to us.Because it is the kind of people they ARE.They have NO CONSCIENCE.And not enough non psychopaths to act as the LIMIT holders on these psychopaths in power.To Be a check to power one must have a CONSCIENCE.And there is NO people of conscience in Washington with ANY power to whistle blow and check the abuses of power happening now.There are too many old boy network authoritarian,psychopaths and narcissists in power with too much money and too much secrecy.. .That toxic mix leads to a corrupted greedy sick government that abuses power and hides the abuses they do for as long as they can get away with it .ALWAYS.


Just like a pedophile threatens his victims into silence by bullying and does his crimes in secret,so does bush and his allies,associates and cronies.They are socialized psychopaths, all of them.

And they have made Washington and the law and the governmental bodies themselves psychologically malfunction to prop up their fiefdoms at the expense of the constitution our rights,and our freedoms.. This is just like an abusive family,the way congress behaves, weak kneed and giving the boy king all the money he can waste, OUR money,without limits. This problem is because OUR country is being bullied, headed by too many petty despots and the enabler personalities and hand wringing by standers,who all behave like a dysfunctional family.They acquiesce power to the despot by avoiding displeasing the bully and his posse ..The halls of power are occupied by a bully 'elite',a band of thugs flush with cash and immunity from responsibility who act like a home tyrant. The kind of shit heads who threaten or hit his own kids to keep his abusive ways secret from others who may intervene..A bully who beats his wife in the most secret places in the house,and isolates his wife from any supports until she cannot remember how to escape...the mess.

So it is with America.,Authoritarians,Narcissists and psychopaths have inherently anti democratic personalities and they do not want to change.So it really is US vs Them, situation because that is the position these vile personalities force all relationships they taint into being like. It is who they are that makes them a problem.And who someone IS cannot be fixed with therapy or jail.
The best you can hope for is they die soon by miracle of miracles.. or are arrested locked in a cell until they die.
