Because American Republicans, like all right-wing and religious groups and governments in the world are self-entitled and move with the understanding that it is their natural right. That's the fundamental nature of that thought, that frame of mind, it is not corruption when they do it. The very reason they can't administrate a barn full of horse shit.
@Blackleaf - I miss Shiranu. So you have to be our angry young man ;-) Keep at it, eventually you will be the Establishment. Democrats behaving like Republicans? Are you unaware of Bill Clinton and Barak Obama? Hillary loves her some Goldman-Sachs. Wish Cavebear would post, he majored in political science.
Establishments are like that. We have had Establishment for 5000 years, with occasional peasant revolts/iconoclasms that change the deck chairs, but human nature hasn't changed in 5000 years. Of course New Soviet Man and Aryan Superman and now Eugenic Driven Evolution are there to attempt to make people stronger faster etc for a lot less than $6 million per person ;-) In the US, I was figuring back, we have an iconoclasm movement every 50 years, dating back to 1770. Next 1820, then 1870, then 1920, then 1970, then 2020. This is intergenerational biology at work.
Marxists in their pseudo-science think that we are evolving in political-economy to an omega-point (later turned into cosmic theology by Teilhard DeChardin). Once we get to true communism, the state will no longer be necessary. Marxism was the product of a German Jew misunderstanding the French Revolution (Peasant Revolt). The French, like the US, have continued to revolt. Including in 1968 against DeGaulle and now with the Yellow Vests, hmm about 50 years. Unless people start living for 100s of years, I see generation replacement as a permanent stop to ideas of cultural apotheosis.
If we did live that long, society would be "of the nursing home, for the nursing home, in the nursing home". Each generation starts over, and having learned of and rejected their parent's/grandparent's they screw everything up. My daughter follows the pattern as I did in my time. Civilization is torn down by one generation, then we spend the next two generations rebuilding it. This may well be healthy. The fall of the Roman Empire was a necessary super cycle, like a major forest fire, to clear out the dead wood. But the forest always grows back, as it should.
