      Your comment seemed like a non-sequitur, but mostly because the title didn’t seem to be literal to me and more of a statement on corruption. Normally, when people make what I believe to be non-sequiturs, it’s because there’s an additional point they’re trying to make that would make that non-sequitur click into place.

      I appreciate the clarity.

          That is…scary. Yeah I’m all for calling our current system of governance a keptocracy or make comparisons about “buying a ticket to congress”, but if those statements are being taken literally then getting us to a place where those aren’t just little quips and more of a reality is going to be easier than I thought.

        That only makes it worse. “I only lied about bad thing X being Y because I want to attach bad connotations to Y”.
