What is happening in our great country

 Our country is endangered by our own politicians - especially the politicians on the right. This statement is not about bashing  the conservative political idea. Conservative politics has a vital role to play in our country. However, like any other political activity, conservative politics must be fair and balanced. Its goal should not be to dismantle the democratic system; it should adhere to the same ethical principles as anybody else.

Here are some highly concerning facts that I am very concerned about.

Here we are now, six months after the election, and it is unbelievable that George Santos is still a member of Congress. I cannot find any way to describe my disgust that he was sworn in in the first place. Anyone that values our political system should feel the same way. Isn't there also an ethical responsibility in politics? We do have an ethics committee in Congress (apparently a sham). Anyone that values our political systems can support this situation.

With George Santos, we have an elected official in Congress that has campaigned under false pretenses, spread lies, and deception. He obviously and deliberately lied about his personal life and motivation. Week after week after week, we learned new facts about Jorge Santos and his deception. There is no credibility left for him.

Why is the assembly in Congress tolerating this? Has Kevin McCarthy no lspine because he needs his role to promote his own career? In one interview, he said something like, and a paraphrase, who is accusing him? What are the accusations? This statement in itself is unbelievable. If we don't have an ethical standard that doesn't need a written code, then we are not a developed country. Any effective and true leader would have taken care of the situation. What does it tell us? Any politician can spread lies, ly about his intentions and their personal life or pull a blanket over the eyes of this constituency and nobody holds thim/her accountable. It is just unbelievable, and it shows me that I was system is not anymore, the system of the people. There are many politicians that care more about themselves and their ideology than they care for the people that elected them. Lies and deception become the norm and create a new normal. These people do not govern as representatives of the people for the people; they misuse their elected position for their own purposes.

These situations have become more and more political reality. We have seen this with our former President, Donald Trump. He has lied more in the first year than many other presidents before him together. The election denial is another fact that shows how much politicians do not support our political system. Our justice system is there to protect all people. Not one judge could find fault with the election. However, the conservative party and Donald Trump propagate the great election ly.


I do understand that they have many people out there that just have no integrity. But what scares me the most is that so many citizens support and elect these people as their constituents. It shows again,
like many times before in history, that some people just do not want to participate in government. They all elect their own tyrants and help to bring the nation downs.

Let us go back to tyhe subject George Santos. Some people may think it's not a big deal. But if we allow candidates to lie to the voters and campaign with perceptions to the extent that he has done, then we have betrayed our founder's ideals and the fundamentals of our nation. We deserve the chaos to come. I hope there is still time that people will wake up and turn the ship  around, but the cliff is in sight.

Make no mistake, I am not trying to harm conservative political movements. We do need a balance between conservative and progressive politics. However, our current conservative political party is on the path to destruction.
