I'd like to think people aren't really like this....
I think it's true, though, that people set their sights on something, and truly believe acquiring or losing something will really make them happy. But it never works, no matter how much they get. They always want something else.

(29,322 posts)It was like a Republican Fascist paradise the policy proposals were ridiculous like getting rid of social security to "create jobs" and the whole nation praised it making him the most popular President in history. The show ctually sells these right wing policies as good ideas and all the characters that have a hint of morality are hated by those around them.
I like the British House of Cards better and the actor was more convincing as a charming sociopath.
