I thought that both the recent past and the present were not as bad as I now think they are. The lust for money and power are far more systemically entrenched than I ever would have guessed. I cant say that democrats are mostly the bad guys and pubs are mostly the good guys with some bad apples in both parties. I would now have to say that both parties contain a significant number of bad guys and that they run the show. I doubt it is possible to know who is telling the truth or lying and exactly when they are doing what. I now read newspaper stories and realize that the reporters have been grossly mislead or are lying themselves much of the time. I don't see conspiracies but I do see widespread corruption on a scale I never saw before.I think you're comparing 21st. century America, not with the real past, but with an ideal that never has been and probably never will be.
If someone thinks that big pharma or big oil is the bad guy and Bush or Obama are the saviors then they are blind. If someone thinks climate alarmists or social programs are evil they they dont understand the scope of evil.
There is a whole new category of players out there call them elite or tptb or whatever you want, I don't really know who they are, I just realize that they are there. I realize that they were there at the founding of our country and way back. I thought that they had existed in the middle ages but had been replaced by a better breed of men. But they have just taken on different clothes.
