> The immediate victims of the con would rather act as if the con never happened. Instead, they’re mad at the outsiders who showed them that they were being fooled. In the USA, is this not the current state of the sociopolitical system? Let's take Philadelphia for example. Known to be long-time loyal to Party L. Yet, chronic poverty, plenty of gun violence, Etc. Yet in the most recent election, Party L replaced Party L. And the former Party L mayor had high praise for the new mayor (also Party L). That is, the mayor who did little for me / us / them is a critic of others? How is that disconnect going to help anyone?
