Rudy Giuliani–Before and After

As a reader notes:

“At one time, he was a good mayor, with a caring heart when the tragedy of 911 took place in New York City. However, when he entered the dark and sick environment of Donald J. Trump, he quickly and willingly, went down a rabbit hole, into the abyss, where even the Republican Senate have mislead their “red” meat base into believing that they sponsor democracy when in fact, it is an authoritarian-fascism.”

Indeed.  As far as I’m aware, Giuliani is unique in history for having thrown away an enviable reputation of honor to become a piece of scum.  One needs to go to literature (Goethe’s Faust) to find a character who made such a poor decision.

On a much smaller scale, of course, this happens to people constantly.  I’m sure every heroin addict on Earth wishes he hadn’t gotten his first high.

Here, however, we’re talking about one of the most visible people in the United States, a man who carried with him great respect, and who knowingly and deliberately ditched that to become one of the kingpins in a criminal enterprise.
