    Yes, but we’d be playing ourselves for fools if we didn’t admit that this time it’s different.

      I’d say the only thing that’s different is the volume and blatantness of the corruption. Selling out the country for profit is always criminal, and it’s so bad they don’t even need to hide it anymore; decades of legalized corruption, putting corporations first, and zero consequences created the conditions for Trump to go mask off .
