House Of Cards

Say you had a political party.

Say this party has benefited from subtle and not so subtle racist "dog whistles" for many years.

Say this party, as a result of these dog whistles, had attracted through the years a collection of the dregs of humanity. The worst of the worst.

Say some of these dregs had actually found their way into Congress, where they formed a block of ignorant, bigoted, clueless fools, who had no understanding of how to govern, or even how government works.

Say this party has strayed so far from its roots that it would be completely unrecognizable to not only its founders, but to many of its current members.

Say, along the way, that this party and some of its candidates had accepted money, lots and lots of money, and other, more esoteric forms of support, from a foreign government hostile to the United States.

Say this money had found its way into the pockets of many of the most highly placed members of this party.

Say this party's win at any cost methods, helped immeasurably by this foreign government, had ultimately resulted in electing a President who is totally unqualified to hold any elected office.

Say someone started investigating this party's connection to that foreign government. Say at every step of the way the investigator(s) were shocked to find someone else in the party who had taken the foreign government's money and help.

All connected, all corrupted, all stacked inside each other, like one of those Russian nesting dolls.

All traitors.
