    Can people not comprehend corruption?

    People from the USA voted for a corrupt candidate and are now surprised they are corrupt

    After checking the definition for corrupt, i realized i had been using the word wrong for my entire life. By corrupt, i meant accepting bribes

      Imagery is everything in the US. I know people who claim to hate socialism despite living off of a monthly Social Security check. They claim to hate communism but can’t tell me what they think the word means, same goes for capitalism. The folks that tell you they don’t trust the media will repeat word for word what the guy on television/podcast told them without bothering to verify it’s accuracy.
