Thanks for your replies.
Despite the crushing psychological pain of knowing one is fundamentally correct, but is being financially punished for being so, I think the worst effect of the PM skullduggery has been my complete loss of faith in this country’s institutions.
Having once had enough trust to give the government a ”blank check” to do whatever it wanted to with my life, I am now disgusted to see what this country has become. The people in government with the real power (military; DOJ; intelligence etc.) all take an oath to “…defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic…” The past 6 years has unequivocally proven that concern for their large salaries and incredible retirement packages, far outweigh that oath.
The people with the guns were the Constitution’s last line of defense against government run amuck. I fear it is downhill from here. Hope I am wrong – the birth of this country was the best hope for 99% of the world’s population – whether they knew it or not.
