It has prospered to the point that the entire national security and judicial apparatus seems to be led by traitors, so an egregious traitor is proud for his treason to be known.
That, my friend, is an entirely timely, and accurate post on your part.
Money, sex, and power. All three of those things corrupt, and it is why the dark, moral underbelly of treason is often exploited using those things.
Money, in the case of Mitch McConnell and hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands more like him.
Sex, in the case of people like Swalwell and probably Chief Justice Roberts among others, like those who traveled to Pedo Island and allowed themselves to be subject to blackmail and domestic or foreign control by enemies of this Republic.
Power, in the case of Joe Biden, which he craves as much as he craves cold, hard cash.
