Congress.
The danger before us is not abstract. It is not theoretical. It is felt—in every kitchen-table conversation, in every eye-roll when Congress appears on the evening news, in every quiet admission that something is deeply broken.
Just recently, Congress voted to keep funding the most corrupt NGO’s including NED (the global leader in censorship) with 81 Republicans joining the lock-step democrats in Congress. They keep spending money like drunken sailors!
When four out of five Americans believe Washington is corrupt, we are no longer talking about partisanship. We are talking about legitimacy.
And legitimacy, once lost, is almost impossible to reclaim.
This Is How Republics Begin to Fracture
History is brutally consistent on this point. Nations do not collapse because people disagree. They collapse when citizens stop believing the system works for them at all.
Corruption—real or perceived—acts like acid on civic trust. It eats away at confidence until voters no longer expect honesty, no longer anticipate fairness, and no longer believe reform is even possible. That is where we are now.
Americans no longer ask, “Is Washington corrupt?”
They ask, “How bad is it—and who is lying about it?”
That shift matters. Because when citizens assume corruption is the default, every action by government is viewed through suspicion, every policy through cynicism, every reform through doubt.
Despite this, these tone-deaf idiots continue on with business as usual!
Why This Anger Isn’t Going Away
The emotional undercurrent driving this moment is not rage alone—it is betrayal.
Voters were promised transparency by the Democrats.
They were promised accountability by the leftist cabal.
They were promised corruption arrests, campaign finance fixes, and a government that answered to the people instead of Soros, Gates, and leftist media by the Republican elite.
Instead, they see:
- Career politicians growing wealthier while communities fall behind, like AOC, Bernie and Mandami
- Endless investigations that never seem to resolve anything—where are the arrests?
- Rules that apply differently depending on partisanship and ideology
- While there have been some indictments, including a sitting member of Congress, the big fish seem to be “getting away with it”
This is why the corruption issue cuts across ideology. Progressives see corporate capture. Conservatives see socialist rot and blind TDS rage, Independents see a ruling class that protects itself first and the public last.
Different diagnoses. Same conclusion: Washington cannot be trusted as it is.
The Political Parties Are on Trial—Not Just Each Other
The near-even split over whether Democrats or Republicans can fix corruption is not a sign of balance. It is a sign of collective doubt.
Voters are not confident in either party. They are choosing between imperfect instruments, not embracing trusted reformers.
That should terrify every incumbent.
Because when the public believes corruption is endemic but sees no credible solution inside the system, they start looking outside it—toward disruption, upheaval, or radical change. That is how populist waves form. That is how political earthquakes happen.
Washington may be divided along party lines. The public is divided between hope and resignation.
This Is the Moment That Demands Courage
The path forward will not be found in slogans or performative hearings. Americans are exhausted by theater. They want proof.
They want:
- Real limits on lobbying power
- Enforceable ethics rules with consequences
- Transparency that doesn’t require a subpoena
- Leaders willing to police their own side
- An honest media that reports real news instead of being a part of the democrat party
Most of all, they want someone—anyone—willing to say out loud what everyone already knows: the system protects itself better than it serves the public.
Admitting that truth is not weakness. It is the beginning of restoration.
A Final Warning—and a Final Opportunity
Trust, once shattered, does not return through speeches. It returns through sacrifice—when those in power give up something tangible for the public good.
If Washington continues to dismiss voter anger as misperception or partisan noise, it will discover too late that anger ignored becomes legitimacy lost.
But if leaders choose reform over comfort, transparency over protection, and service over survival, something rare can still happen: trust can be rebuilt.
The American people are not asking for perfection.
They are asking for honesty.
And they are watching—more closely than ever.

Very well said…
“legitimacy, once lost, is almost impossible to reclaim.” Your argument is prophetic and sobering.

Gee blogger, I wonder who that person could be? You got me.
What the heck!!!!! The answer to this entire article is Trump. He told us in 2015 and 2016 EVERYTHING that this blog entry mentions and has continued to tell us up to the present. People just refuse to listen to the man.
Stand behind your President. He’s smarter than all of us.
