Break It First. Legalize It
Later.

Welcome to the theater of the absurd, where corrupt politicians dance across the stage of democracy, twirling their capes and tossing confetti made of legal loopholes.
They’ve mastered a chillingly simple tactic: commit the crime, then craft the narrative that allows them to sidestep justice like a broken-down car through a puddle.
It’s the grotesque ballet of “Breaking It First, Legalizing It Later,” where the only consistent element is the audience—a bewildered electorate, clapping and cheering, blissfully unaware that they’re watching their future being dismantled right before their eyes.
Here’s how it’s executed in real time: A powerful politician brazenly commits acts that would make your average crook blush.
Picture the gleeful theft, the blatant lies, the lavish bribes—all orchestrated with the enthusiasm of a child in a candy store.
The strategy is surprisingly simple: create a ruckus, sow chaos, and capitalize on the distraction it generates.
“Honesty is for losers,” they murmur, as they stuff their pockets with the spoils of public trust.
Public outrage?
Just collateral damage.
Once the foundations of legality are rumbling, the real magic begins.
Enter Step Two: “Reform” becomes a euphemism for corporate protection practices and personal enrichment.
They don’t just sidestep the law; they draft their own shiny legislation to retroactively legitimize their misdeeds.
It’s not that they forgot about the rules—they intentionally bulldozed them while everyone else was busy watching the latest reality show.
The result?
A swift rebranding of their criminal acts as “innovative governance.” Call it legislative parkour: leap over accountability, land gracefully on the plush carpet of immunity, and sound the triumphant horn of process “modernization.”

In a world where nobody is held accountable, these politicians spin legal immunity into a tantalizing narrative of public service.
“We’re safeguarding democracy!” they cry, waving the script of governance as a shield.
Oblivious to the absurdity of the charade, the media becomes a willing accomplice, seduced by press junkets and applause.
Your average talking head, microphone in hand, fails to notice that what they’re truly defending is one giant self-serving circus act.
“Don’t look at the elephants in the room; look over here at the shiny new policies,” they peddle with fervor.
It’s the final act of the show that takes the cake.
After the dust settles on a pile of shredded ethics, the grand finale erupts: spin it like you mean it.
Politicians become masterful magicians, their sleight of hand diverting attention with a flourish.
The trick is all about timing; when the public starts digging for answers, toss them a few platitudes and reframe the conversation.
“What about our children’s future?” they ask, and just like that, the spotlight shifts from their wrongdoing to an emotionally charged narrative that holds no substance.
It’s a page out of a political magician’s handbook: misdirect, distract, and while they’re looking left, you’re pocketing the cash on the right.
And what’s the aftermath of this grandiose deception?
A cycle where the only constant is the rebooting of corruption—where the curtain rises again and again on these farcical acts.
They’re in it for the long haul, a presentiment of dark comedy that leaves the public dazed, with politicians reigning as both performers and the punchline.
The lesson for you, the voter, is this: beware of the antics that unfold beneath the bright lights and laughter.
Recognize the audacity of those who break laws only to rewrite them at convenience.
Not every judge or enforcer is corrupt, but remember: politicians will assert their dominance, striving to replace truth with loyalty, and integrity with complacency.
Next time you read about a “new and improved” policy, ask yourself if it’s not just a shiny cover for actions that should have consequences.
Keep your eyes wide open to the sleight of hand, and arm yourself with skepticism; it’s the only real protection against becoming the unwitting audience member in the tragedy of your own democracy.
