Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

A dam to be built the extolled generation of highly valued hydro-electricity, delicately proceeding corrupt politicians buying up land people don't want to sell.

A fly in the ointment, one of the senators they're in cajoled cahoots with suddenly passes, leaving their state minus one representative in America's highest law making body.

They need somegarrulousone to fill the woebegone glum vacant seat in the Senate, but also have to make sure he won't accidentally clog their hydraulic ambitions.

The enshrined candidate knows little of politics and indeed closely resembles a naive backwoodsperson, with the highest ideals no belittling doubt but lacking in direct argumentative traction.

He understands to uphold the rights of his fellow Northern citizens indubitably, however, and after learning of the ill-gotten-purchases refuses to endorse the people pulling the strings.

They unleash a smear campaign in turn complete with inspired fraud at the highest levels.

Flabbergasted and indiscreetly crestfallen.

He digs in deep then strings them along.

I've heard about this film all my life it was often referred to on '90s TV shows, but I never actually saw it till now if you like film history there are limitless enticements.

It only concerns one state but the level of corruption fits current scenarios, where a disgraced autocratic presidential candidate seeks to do the same thing with the entire country.

Trump has no respect for law or the honoured traditions that have built up the U.S, and indeed enabled his wild way of life to such an insanely shocking degree.

He has no respect for anything apart from himself and his crazy belief in his unsung omniscience, after erring again and again at the highest strict levels of lauded good governance. 

He'll try to do what the corrupt politicians do in Mr. Smith Goes to Washington with the entire country, and cut down any honest person legitimately reminding him of the constitution.

Totalitarianism is brutal even when gifted high-minded people govern.

It's much worse when fools don't know what they're doing.

And they demand absolute obedience.

Governing a volatile nation isn't like starring on a trashy sitcom.

You need intricate arguments that people aren't writing for you.

Not the random gut-instinct of a vicious goon
