If it's any comfort to you, Susu's Hubby, I have long known that American "liberal" politicians are just as lying and duplicitous as are American "conservative" politicians, and that in fact...they BOTH serve the same common interests: big money.

And neither you nor I can do a thing about it. You are living in a $y$tem that, like the latter Roman Empire, is probably beyond moral redemption. The world in general will survive it, however, and will not remember it fondly, I can assure you.

The sad thing is, it may be replaced by something equally bad or even worse...there are no guarantees concerning that.
