Has it always been this fricked up, but they are now exposed for their corruption?

I have never really gave a shite about politics until about 10-15 years ago is when I started somewhat paying attention.
I know there has always been widespread corruption with DC, elites, world leaders, etc., but I have never seen it this bad.
I guess my question - Has it actually always been this bad with corruption behind the curtain, but with social media, PODCASTING, Rumble, YoutTube Shows, Donald J Trump, etc - we are now just seeing how bad the correction has always been that we didn't know about before because they always hid it so well from the public?
OR, is it really this bad in 2024 compared to the past 40-50 years?

I have become cynical, I am starting to think it has been this way for a long, long time. It’s just too difficult to conceal with advancements in communication and technology.

Was it always this bad?
We’ve had presidents start wars on false pretenses. No one was liable.
We now have a former president that didn’t start a war and he’s been arrested with 91 charges.
Its worse.

Why do you think there is such desperation to control free speech and the internet now.

Tucker interview shows how the censorship machine started and continues
This explains a lot, how things are different now even though corruption and elitism has always been present.

The slogan by any means necessary was a match on a barrel of jet fuel.

There's always been corruption but it's easier to spread bullshite with 24/7 propaganda media machine and social media.

It was eye opening when he said this would have never happened in his dad’s company and is illegal, but no one in DC cares.

It’s as bad as I’ve seen because federal, state and municipal law enforcement has been captured by idealogues and not only chooses what laws they want to enforce but targets political enemies. This has given those in power or those who benefit from these policies the freedom to do whatever they want with no repercussions.

Also, have you ever read about how William McKinley was 'elected'?
I don't even think we need to address Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson or Richard Nixon.

Hell no it has never been this bad in regard to the Leadership of this Nation. Many or even most of the men that Founded, defended and promoted our Constitutional Republic thereafter were men of exceptional courage and virtue. Politics of today has become as rotting flesh is to a maggot fly as today’s politicians flock in to feed their status and relative affluence. The Good Book speaks of “the blind leading the blind “ and both going into the ditch. Albeit the Transnational Progressive Intelligensia are totally persuaded re the dire necessity of their absolute control (Fascism) and Global unification of government in order to save Humanity/Earth. Herding cats based on lies and deception won’t cut it IMO, but I’m not that smart so who knows. We’ll find out soon.

The problem now is that those willing to see it now know the deep state has been choosing our leaders at least since JFK. Trump was an anomaly that exposed them. Their next move is total control. Wait for it. I figure the opposition will be illegals armed, trained and led by the FBI

Thanks to the media we can get "some" of the news in real time instead of reading about corruption in history books. Our media "sources", however, are questionable given that they "bow to their master's" agenda (thinking MSNBC for one). And, of course, the media passes on what they garner from the CIA, FBI, etc., agencies with their own credibility issues.

I think it has always been this corrupt, but we didn't know. We were given glimpses with WMD hysteria and by guys like Snowden, but that's it. Russiagate blew the doors off of everything. The orchestration and manipulation of it is the biggest political scandal in the history of the country and only one low-level attorney got a slap on the wrist. Darryl Cooper's (Martyr Made) thread on this that made him famous was fantastic.

I also have days that I try to wrap my head around the Ukraine impeachment. Biden and a bunch of other elites have been feeding from the trough there and Trump was impeached for asking questions about it. Biden joked about his extortion on video. The CIA and Schiff manufactured a phony whistleblower and ran a secret kangaroo court to justify it. That happened in the U.S. All with a compliant press.
There is really no check on this corruption other than some exposure from about 5-10 independent media types. Congress can hold hearings, but nothing happens with an FBI and DOJ that protect the regime.

There's always been corruption. I mean the CIA murdered JFK so it's been there a long arse time. But the difference is the internet and social media. They recognized it's potential for mind control and developed it far beyond just that. Right up till Musk bought Twitter out from under them and exposed what they did. Since then it's been straight up panic by the establishment cabal.
When they realized that, they turned up the volume on the MSM propaganda outlets. They have so many ways to recursively support any narrative they want to put forth. Just like what they did to create the Muh Russians narrative. They used five eyes for support. They used the media who would report anything they're told to, then cycle that around enough to where it then becomes 'truth'. Why just look your honor! There's so much smoke the fire is now just a fact, right?
As they get more desperate, they have to pull out the big guns 24/7. Full on fear and panic screamed at you nonstop forever by hairdo counts in designer suits and stage makeup reading what they're told to say. Back in the Walter Cronkite days, that was all you needed to do. The plebes didn't have any other source of news so that was the truth. But now, you can get information from anywhere and they can't stop you. Thus the panic.

And, contrary to popular belief, all of our problems didn't start when we elected a black man to be president.
And maybe if more people had been paying attention sooner, we could have avoided the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Patriot Act [sic].

Mix of both. It’s always been bad. However, with more becoming aware of it and trying to expose it, they are having to get bolder.

Absolutely, its always been there. The Nixon vs Kennedy election was rigged as was the Brandon vs Trump.
Google how L B Johnson became a US Senator. We know how he became President. Bang Bang
