I'm really not sure how we've normalized corrupt behavior at the highest levels of government. Penalizing law firms for supporting things that Trump doesn't like is insane. Doubly so when they enter agreements to provide free legal services for things he does approve of so that they can "get the monkey off their back" so to speak. All I can hope for is that we punish this behavior in the future when grifting and violating civil rights isn't the normal thing to do.

Decades and decades of the slow but methodical dismantling of the public education system & it's standards. Then, propagandizing the public with right wing news that tells the populace what's happening is perfectly normal and thinking otherwise is unAmerican/unpatriotic are two things that come to mind immediately.

"We" haven't. Conservatives explicitly have. Unfortunately there are a plurality of conservatives so they get to decide that blatant and open corruption is fine actually. Hopefully the non-voters wake the fuck up but I'm not optimistic.
