Character Assination.


When it come down to it politically this country has a character problem.
It's pretty obvious, but this question becomes how.. How is it , we now devalue character?

It's the reason we believe in the swamp. In the reason we don't trust Washington DC

Well, as far as politics goes, there;'s a couple of reasons.

The first reason is we have been let down, too often. those we thought had character, turned out to be just characters.

Second, those who have character, and speak in character are too easily turned. Into something they are not. Either from the inside or from the outside, either by convenience, or ideological propaganda.

So what happened is we can no longer believe our eyes or our ears. In Washington character does not exist.

it began way before Bush, but, we didn't believe it. with Bush we began to believe it, and with Obama we were convinced to believe it.

So it now doesn't matter, even if it hits you over the head.
Trump and Hillary, never became a character debate.. because we couldn't trust character, No matter what our eyes told us, our mind told us... whatever their character is.. they are equal
So in our mind Trump's dishonesty is really just being honest. Character in Washington has become just a mirage, in a desert...with a great big swamp in the middle. But without character it's just a desert.

Now tell me about "fake news"? You bought into so much, you don't know the difference

So we have had McCain, Flake, and Corker, try to make Trump's character an issue.

And the "Fake News" tells us it's not Trump character that's the issue but McCain's, Flake's and Corker's character..

We are so numb to Washington... It just doesn't matter.

    Quoting  :

I just don't see getting rid of Trump solves any of the real problems.

We are getting to the real issue, now.

Removing politics from character determination.

We've got the same problem here. it's so pervasive to me, I can't make any character determination from either a person ideology or an attack on me. I find other things to make that determination. Honesty is the number one determination and being honest and true to one's self is on the top of that. I find the biggest character flaw is to think one thing and say something else. I don't understand how people can do that. Maybe when they realized how bad Trump is for doing it, they will realize how bad it is for them to do it.
