Lydia, and her reportage from the comments thread …
It would be easier to list what hasn’t been corrupted by the Leftists because the author is correct, nearly everything has been corrupted. The islands of sanity and decency are under constant attack. There are still good and honest people. There are still good neighbors and good families. There are still faithful churches, pastors, priests, and rabbis. There are good parents and some good schools. There are still honest businesses. Not all youth have been corrupted. There are still doctors who believe they must first do no harm. There are still people with integrity.
Of course all of these people are under constant attack.
What is lacking is leadership to coalesce good and decent people into a cohesive group that will fight back collectively, regularly, consistently, and continually. I’m not talking about a new political party. Both the Republican and Democrat parties are corrupted. It needs to be a social movement. A save our liberty movement. A save our country movement. A save the Constitution movement. A save our lives movement. A save our future movement if you will. It means taking control of our lives and not allowing other people to decide for us.
We need a “We Love America” movement that transcends the haters, controllers, enforcers, persecutors, and executioners. Without long-gone leaders the likes of Gandi, MLK, Churchill, Lincoln, Washington, Joan of Arc, Lech Walesa, etal, one tends to fear we’re headed for a “Run for your lives; every man for himself” conclusion, when we ought to be graciously transformed of a nature that is continually active serving a mighty God of Israel – THAT!

M.B.Mathews, and “The corruption of everything”:
As we survey the American landscape, we cannot help but notice that just about everything has been corrupted by the left. The justice system has been corrupted by partisan politics to the point where Republicans and conservatives are persecuted and prosecuted at a level far higher than anyone else. We on the right can reliably depend on being prosecuted for “misgendering,” contributing to conservative causes, being a Christian or a Jew, speaking out against the barbaric transing of children, defending ourselves with a firearm, and not being a Democrat. We can depend upon getting arrested for protesting peacefully as the corrupt “Justice” Department singles us out for jail, bankruptcy, or keeping us off election ballots, while really destructive rioters go free.
Medical research has been corrupted by the deliberate downgrading of meritorious research that just so happens to be at odds with the latest leftist perversion du jour. For example, there are research grants for hamster fights.
Elections have been corrupted. Mail-in ballots, demonstrated to be extremely susceptible to fraudulent inflation of Democrat votes, are ready for the next fraud. Dead people vote; people vote multiple times; non-residents vote in other states; and phony ballots are printed and signed with the same handwriting, then run through counting machines multiple times. Computer problems pop up so as to skew the vote. [end]

The border has been corrupted. Almost ten million illegal entrants have come across our borders, bringing terrorists, sex-traffickers, and criminals. It’s proving to be overwhelming to the cities where they squat, and it must stop. Are we waiting for a massive cyber-attack? This administration is almost single-handedly destroying our sovereignty. Thanks, Joe.
Race relations have been corrupted. Beginning with Barack Obama’s “the police acted stupidly” and moving on to the lionizing of criminal George Floyd, to the 2020 “mostly peaceful” riots, to cashless bail, to corrupt D.A.s in blue cities, race relations have gotten much, much worse. Sexuality has been corrupted. Men claim to be women and vice versa. Drag queens set the kiddie agenda in schools, and transsexuality has become epidemic, although de-transitioners are becoming more noticeable these days.
Meanwhile, young lives have been ruined because of this fad. In addition, no TV or streaming drama is complete without the obligatory sex scene. This has made family watching almost impossible and even non-prudes like me squeamish. Sex scenes are not even necessary to enhance the storylines. It’s just another way the left can degrade something beautiful and sacred. There is a lot more corruption than I have space for here, but I do sense the worm turning. We’ve had enough time to assess the damage the left has done, and we abhor it. We will rise up. [end]

More Lydia in closing: This is a brutal planet within the confines of which there have always been brutal, evil people on the prowl, occasionally with “good” triumphing soundly over “evil”, yet we’ve never been able to make it stick. It ebbs and flows like waves on the ocean, where the worst of the human race has taken control because righteous men (and women) have become cowards well within the purview of opposite men the likes of President Donald John Trump etal.
One must agree only because he has become such a polarized figure, the hate for him of which is abnormal and a result of brainwashing hypnosis. He did nothing after all to any of those who hold such irrational hatred. Even now, the flames are fed by what the Left says he “might” do, but they are only projecting what they WILL do.
Recall the irrational hatred of Lincoln too. But when he was assassinated the outpouring and sense of loss was inconsolable. We now have Trump, flawed as he is, but who isn’t? If he is allowed to be elected again, he will do great and mighty things for all of us gathered as We the People, whether we all can envision it or not. Trump remember, is nothing if not visionary, fearless and very mindful of victory – THAT!
