I'm going to be pedantic for a second, as a sort of dark coping mechanism:

>Anyone who supports a known rapist and felon and who openly takes bribes can not be convinced of anything

Clearly, they can be convinced of something, just not anything you or I might consider good.

In all seriousness, I think the truly disturbing thing about this whole sorry situation is just how many people don't actually hold any durable ethics or morality, just rank self-interest. Pearl clutching over the death of American dreams like economic mobility is a sideshow to the death knell of American idealism. America is not the shining city on a hill we thought it was, and honestly, it never was.

Yeah. I should have been more precise.

The country deserves what is going to happen.
