This is actually a form of “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” playing out before our very eyes.
I highly recommend viewing the movie if you’ve not seen it.
Mr. Smith is my favorite movie of all time. There are parallels to what’s happening today, but critical differences too. Where Smith could count on his supporters to fight for him, I don’t see many people actually fighting for Trump. And the movie ends with the corrupt senator breaking down and fessing up, something no modern real world politician and their assorted hangers on would ever do. Back in 1939, with WWII already underway in Europe and the Pacific, the concept of honor was still important. Today barely anyone knows what it really means. Almost everyone in DC is corrupt to one degree or another. Having trillions confiscated from the American public every year for politicians to play with corrupts everything about our federal government.
