    Not so sure about the last one as it reeks of nostalgia. Corrupts politicians have existed in the past, honorable politicians still exist. The biggest change imo is how easily the corrupt people can influence their voters and how they get away with everything.

      Yeah politics has always been a cluster fuck. They didn’t just work together harmoniously to end slavery, people died for that. Likewise Eisenhower enforced the desegregation of schools at gunpoint with the 101st airborne.
