    Both sides are corrupt.

    One side is corrupt despite the well-intentioned support of principled people.

    The other is corrupt by design, enabled by the narcissistic support of bigots and sycophants.

    The former might do the best thing for the country.

    The latter will always do the best thing for their own self-interest.

    None of our leaders or representatives should be expected to resist corruption. That’s why we need checks and balances against corruption, and we as voters need to hold those representatives accountable.
