Jon Oliver was great - as always

6. A profound display of how low and unprincipled, to the

point of depravity, their leadership has become.

It's dreadfully unfortunate for the human race that most of us essentially align with a group of "people like me," accept its leaders at some point, and then adopt the views of those leaders. We like to think it's the opposite, but we now know for most it is not, and we've been watching people who didn't like Trump before he became the nominee afterward supporting him and whatever he does determinedly. The same for their totally corrupted leaders in the senate.

What we don't seem to know as well, or have established political mechanisms for, is how to break the syndrome when bad leaders take over a party, before they threaten to break the nation. Most people align with one general type for years, decades, life depending, a very dangerous reality in a world of galloping change in almost everything but partisan alignment.
