Our system of government was predicated on a moral population. The founders did not believe this was functional in the absence of a moral society. We now see that rampant and flagrant fraud has been occurring for a substantial amount of time. There will always be fraud on some level - that is just a life reality. But this type of fraud indicates the precise type of decay the founders declared would not sustain this Constitution.

It is a lack of understanding this fundamental requirement that leads people down erroneous paths of reasoning. "There is no deep state. People aren't doing really sick shit with kids. Nor stealing elections. If they were, someone would do something about it. So that is bullshit. It isn't happening. Fkn larpers..." But if you asked those very same people something like, "Do you think Nancy Pelosi is honest? Do you think she holds office to advance the interests of her constituents or her own? What about Mitch McConnell? Chuck Schumer? Adam Schiff? Joe Biden? George Bush? Dick Cheney? Mitt Romney?" And the very same people will say "all politicians are crooks!"

It is as though they fail to connect the already conceded "crooks" to the fact that they concede "crooks" hold most of the offices that our Constitution provides authority to do something about shit like this. What they are actually saying is that the fox makes a terrific henhouse guard. And it never dawns on them. I'm baffled by this phenomena, honestly.
