How do so many corrupt and evil people come together

Like this? It’s some kind of messed up Calvinist crap that imposes suffering not only on its adherents but on the rest of society and the world at large. Prosperity gospel junk religion. Ruthless and greedy people deserve their wealth because their god has blessed them. The political and religious figures living their hypocrisy of greed and debauchery out in the open and their followers never questioning the duplicity right in front of them.

A willingness to sell out their country to Russian and billionaires for money and power.
Assist our enemies in destroying their own country.

Biggest moral collapse in US history.
