- Media revolutions changed everything… most especially politics.
- Politics has now become a game with all new rules.
- The Republican Party has fine-tuned playing this game.
- Winning and holding on to power became the only objective, no matter one’s personal beliefs.
- Personal integrity and traditional party ideology are now fading away.
- Democrats, focused on internal party disagreements, have been criticized for not playing this game more skillfully.
- This game will likely lead to an autocratic government… and along with it the end of fair elections and American democracy.
Politics today has become a game with new rules that require saying whatever it takes to win and hold on to power, whether its true or not.
