"This was back when the far right wing of the Republican party was called “the Tea Party”—a populist movement that arose after the government bailed out the investment banks who’d caused the economic collapse but let the people who’d lost their homes and savings go broke." Thanks for the nod! I was one of those people... 10 years later I'm still living in an apartment.
That under belly has been burbling a long time witness Philip Roth Plot Against America 2004 back to the FDR Lindbergh Ford Hitler nexus mess keeps seething
Why do we have to have flawed humans running for office and not just perfect saints? /s Using years old behaviors to disqualify candidates seems like a mistake. I would rather look at "patterns" of behavior. Sadly, it seems the sociopaths who can lie so sincerely are now the most successful candidates. I would like a law that makes it a felony to knowingly lie to obtain public office.
Meanwhile the movie The Blob seems appropriate. Or even better Eugene Ionesco play The Rinoceros

Gee, these are quite the movie reviews. Laughing/not laughing
Another brilliant essay. Now what? Pack the Supreme Court and abolish the electoral college. Restore power to the many rather than the few.
