I absolutely adore (because the only way I can stay sane is address these issues with a sense of humor) that:
1. The rhetoric of the current RINO/MAGA party refers disparagingly about socialism on the "left" and yet buys "socialism" for the rich!
2. The RINO/MAGA use in their rhetoric religion and god and yet their leader is corrupt and dishonest as are they. It's just like King Lear! The faults of the leader trickle down and have their effect.
3. George Santos is not a one-off, he represents the ethos of many in that party and he isn't an anomaly. He is a sad reflection, young, gifted liar who has come a very long way on the strength of his lies. Now where is the difference between him and the de-facto leader of his party and his acolytes?
So yes I absolutely agree with the content of your article. The "greed is good" ethos of the Reagan "Revolution" leads us to this, a place where money becomes the only value, the only criteria for decision. In the Dominion Voting Systems case, it was Rupert Murdoch who said his decision to promote that lie was "green" (he smiled) and he didn't mean ecological. Unfortunately they are not the first nor will they be the last to profit from lies, and along the way hurt other people.
