All of here. Came into this world at some point not long after Eisnhower left office with his cryptic warning. "Beware of the military industrial complex". The police dtate and corporations are coming for the gold. Get ready.

Jfk, rfk, mlk offer a vision.
It was called camelot.
A vision of coexistence & brotherly love.
All assasinated and so much evidence suggesting J.Edgars cia was empowered to alter the rush to camelot. Johnson & nixon come next. Escalate vietnam into an economy crushing, camelot denying end to the radical hippy idea of Love thy neighbor... Nixon is exposed as a corrupt grifting racist. Pro corporation. The biggest corporat gift if all time. Ending the public hospital era & enshrining health care as a profit model. Congress at the tome exploded with lobbyist openly bribing for policy.
But nixon goes down hard. Opening the foor for a course correction. Another camlotian ideal. Clean up congress. Get rid of lobbyists. Is it coincidence vorporate investment screeched to a halt? Unemployment and interest rates soared?
( Beware of the military industrial complex)
Poor Jimmy C. He tried. For you! He was so dead set against NAFTA which republicans via there lobbyists were trying to fous upon the american wirker as a great prosperous plan(for who? Worker or corporation?)
Jimmy gets trounced. The next republican comes in.
The never ending war ideal us restarted. The corruption again increases with many a scandal. And the republicans keep trying to get nafta passed. 1st Mondale & then Dukakis try to get american to remember the promise of camelot.
Those days however are long gone. Repkaced by the Ayn Rand concept that greed is good. Fl your neighbor. Its jungle law in the funancial world. A smart man ignores morality. Embraces money making. It is the era. Of the rise of the golden calf. God is dead baby. Gold is the new lord & master.
8 years of reagan.4 yearsif Bush Daddy. They still cant get NAFTA through. The democrats are fillibustering and standing like a WPA pister of the worker with fist in the air. Standing firm against Nafta... The 92 election comes. Dens are divided. Teddy kennedy & the camelot plan. Or the new kud in the block. The reagan democrat. ( We cant beat em, so lets join em) The most charismatic Reagan Democrat is that Bill Clinton fella. He wins in 92. Camelot is officially dead now. Now there is now party. The party of greed.
Greed lite( democrats) full steam forward greed(republicans)... Nafta passed congress 1st ballot.
Ya'll know the rest. The military industrial complex. The police state & corporation as a citizen slowly take over america. The corruption is no longer even denied. The evil in politics is expected. Trump? Unleashing the jack boot thuggery upon the working man. When god is meaningless. When Gold is everything.
Where exactly is political morality supposed to come from?

We did it to ourselves.
