You hit it right on the nose: "The idea is that if the successors inherit a wreck too big to fix in one governmental cycle, voters can easily be convinced in the next election to forget who made the mess, blame it on the ones who got stuck with cleanup, and put the ones who trashed the country back into power. Many voters have short memories and poor understanding of politics and government, so propaganda takes effect readily on them. The scheme often works." -

With so many willfully ignorant and entitled people voting for the extremist right-wing, I'm fearful that America will be trashed to the ground.

Kudos to Cassidy Hutchinson for the expose', but even Trumpers will be trashed by MAGATS (Make America Great Again Trump Supporters) if they show the slightest tendency to tarnish their Golden Calf. MAGATS (yes, rhymes with maggots) will believe absolutely no one except those who cater to their sense of entitlement, their hatreds, and their worship of a very evil man.

It was interesting to see where Hutchinson came from. Her biological father is the stereotypical MAGAT. Matters had to go very far before she began to realize what she was in the middle of. But at her age... finding her own moral compass and standing up for it was tremendous. Nearly everyone around her who had more experience, better resources, and more means to protect themselves took easier ways out. And no, her father won't ever recognize what she did. He'll always see her as a turncoat. She lost nearly everything by testifying. Such a big thing to do at any age.
