Just maybe it is because no one in our government is held accountable for their actions which has been going on for many, many decades. The constitution is not held highly even in the Supreme Court and in

lower courts.

The low lives in congress have learned that lies and corruption are tolerated and their will be no accountability. Now laws and institutions that have authority to hold people accountable are being removed from our laws.

I remember reading something about in 50's a couple was put to death for treason?? Anymore the incentive to run for public office is to get rich quick.

Jules and Ethel Rosenberg in 1953 for espionage. It was a mixture of real spying during the Manhattan Project, anti-Communist fears (Stalin had just gotten the atomic bomb and the Korean War was dragging on), Ethel's brother selling her out for a lighter sentence, and possibly Anti-Semitism. Jules was probably guilty of at least some things, she much less so. Nobody else involved was executed. It was a nasty story all the way through.

And now we had President who has secret meetings with Russian Oligarchs and Presidents, takes money from same Russians and no one cares except for a Paul Ryan who quietly whispers to his colleagues. "Let's not say that too loudly or all this goes away!" They say these things and have no fear of being put to death, which our constitution calls for. We really need to seriously "Dump the Incumbents"! From both parties.
