Ignorance
Arrogance
A lust for power over what is right

These have rapidly become the dominant traits of many in American politics and those who support them. Those in power have fooled those who follow them that their arrogance is strength and their ignorance is a sign of independence. But it is from that place of arrogance, that a republic that willingly embraces them expects to survive. It’s from that place of ignorance that those who bestow leadership, and blindly believe that they will be looked out for by those who they so willingly followed. The truth is clear the ultimate goal of those leaders is to enhance their power while increasing their wealth, and they are more than willing to use and, if necessary, sacrifice those who support them to achieve that goal.
