You would have to look far and wide to find one, in the current American Government.

Being an elected official in America, I can state affirmatively there are a lot of good, smart and caring people in our government. The problem is it seems to be a growing minority of those who wield power on a national and international scale.

lso, it is not just America. Looking at Alberta right now, and the number of MAGA hats is worrisome.

People who are bitter about the way they've been treated, can always be taken advantage of, by people who will exploit that bitterness.
A Hitler, and other historical tyrants knew that.
D Trump and the Alberta separatists know it also.

By American Government I specifically mean Federal Administration, and members of House and Senate who would rather cover their assess than risk opposing D Trump, and having him support a primary opponent.
Funny how, as soon as they lose to a Trump endorsed opponent, they all grow a set.

I guess opportunism is more important than honesty and moral/ethical principles.
( oh, I forgot, these are politicians )
