No Matter your political preferences, I think we can all agree that lying should not be rewarded. Additionally, selling your soul to the head of the party is not ideal. As we have gotten increasingly polarized, each side feels like they can never cross the aisle without being politically persecuted. Why can we not just appreciate working together for the benefit of the constituents? The game of politics used to be quiet and behind closed doors. Now it is wide open.
Despite the grip that Trump has on many GOP voters, the majority of people rejected his candidates. I think Georgia is an interesting case because Georgia did not embrace the "stolen election" narrative. Our executive embraced truth and prevailed because of it. Governor Kemp was not influence by false media nor the pressure he may have felt from keyboard experts. On the flip side, Kari Lake wholeheartedly ran on a lie and embraced Trump 100%. This is exactly the opposite of finding common ground and doing the right thing. I don't care who it is, our politicians should not be selling their souls to the more powerful politicians. That is how democracy falls and dictatorships prevail.
The ability for everybody to chime in with no consequences and maybe people not even knowing who they are has aided to this problem. The increasing amount of "experts: on every issue known to mankind is an issue in itself. Since government and politics touch everything, the opinions and "experts" in the evaluation of this profession run rampant. Additionally, the reactions garnered from keyboard warriors encourage deranged behavior.
