Evanston, Illinois

Another example of this was Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezenski, who allowed
Donald Trump to call in to the show from the campaign trail on many mornings
and give ""interviews"" that let him spin his campaign propaganda without even
having to face anyone or face real pushback -- to literally phone it in, in
other words.

Since Trump was elected Scarborough and Brezinski have engaged in a year long
guilt-driven tirade against him, fending off criticism that they helped get
him elected and very likely aware that these critics are right. Too little too
late however.

Our country can be admirable at its best, but at its worst it's a country
entirely on the make, with virtually everyone looking to milk every situation
for their own profit. It's built into the cultural fabric, sadly. This has
been the sad lesson of the calamity of Trump being elected President, our
entire money-worshiping system put him there. Douthat makes a big point about
how Trump's business success was imaginary and fraudulent, but what if this
wasn't the case and someone truly immensely rich and successful had been
elected, like say, Charles Koch. Would we really be better off? At least Trump
being thoroughly inept at actual life, in contrast to pretending to be good at
it on TV, will likely bring an end to his presidency. On the other hand then
we'll have Mike Pence, who would love to turn us into a theocracy like Iran,
just the Christian version. There are no quick fixes, the rot is deep.
