Good read. This makes me respect those with a spine who do choose the correct route. They either stick to the truth and/or leave. We had a few last term, but not this term.

So this is why it’s easier for us retired people to protest. We don’t have jobs that will censure us. Most of us don’t need any fake reputation anymore. Most of us now surround ourselves with like minded people. We’re not rich enough to be on anyone’s board, etc. 👹

The internal drive and yearning to be accepted and associate with 'power, money and influence' is a very slippery slope, indeed. You nailed the transformation that takes place in the process -- one step at a time until you're a total, miserable sell-out.
