This is the fundamental issue with civilization. Good faith power must get power, hold power, and actually successfully govern; bad faith power is free to devote all of their resources to the first two. Evil will always be more nimble and more unfettered.
I take almost no comfort in the inevitability of good prevailing. Selfishly, mostly because I don’t have that kind of time. On a cosmic scale, none of this matters. A rock in space is not evil, and once we’re obliterated either by devices of our own making or the march of entropy, the universe will be neither good nor bad. Bad only loses due to the mortality of man, but once bad is finally “defeated” there will be no one left to appreciate it.
Musical chairs rules dictates that once the last bit of life in the universe is inevitably blotted out, all that will be left is morally inert, inanimate matter, and therefore evil will not exist for millions of years. It’s winning the battle but losing the war on the grandest scale.
The Supreme Court simply exists to legitimize his power these days.
Mitch McConnell engineered a takeover of the country while leftists fought with each other about Harris and Clinton being left enough for them.

Meh. I’ll be in a different dimension by then…
Correct, but remember the very old saying that good prevails over evil. It always has and always will, even in times when it’s hard to believe so.
I thought the old saying was that evil will always triumph over good because good is dumb.
Lol, good looks dumb cuz he dresses like a nerd, but he’s quietly a genius.
wut?
historically evil always wins
even batman plays with the idea
