A quick definition of corrupt:

Corrupt: When someone is corrupt, it means they are doing something wrong or bad. They might be taking bribes or doing things that are against the rules. It can also mean that someone's morals or principles have changed from good to bad. Corruption is when someone uses their power or position to get something for themselves or someone else, even if it's not fair to others.

A more thorough explanation:

Corrupt (adjective) means having an unlawful or depraved motive, especially influenced by bribery. It can also refer to a person who is subject to corruption of blood, which is an old legal term that means their descendants cannot inherit their property.

Corrupt (verb) means to change a person's morals or principles from good to bad. It can also refer to imposing corruption of blood on a person, which is no longer a legal practice.

Corruption (noun) means depravity, perversion, or taint. It refers to an impairment of integrity, virtue, or moral principle, especially when it comes to public officials who are influenced by bribery. Corruption can also refer to the act of using one's position or office to gain personal benefit, which is against the rights of others.

Example 1: The politician was accused of being corrupt because he accepted money from a company in exchange for passing a law that would benefit them.

Example 2: In the past, if a person was convicted of treason, their blood would be considered corrupt, which meant their descendants could not inherit their property.

Example 3: The police officer was found guilty of corruption because he used his position to help his friends avoid getting tickets.

These examples illustrate how corruption can involve unlawful or unethical behavior, such as accepting bribes or using one's position for personal gain. It can also refer to a legal concept, such as corruption of blood, which is no longer used in modern law.

Glad you're back dk lmao. If you read the actual article, it's that his day one EO's are wildly unpopular (for instance the majority of americans support birthright citizenship). He can have won the popular vote and still do unpopular stuff

"Two recent polls found opposition to pardoning the J6ers at 57 and 59 percent, respectively, and that was before Americans understood that even the cop-beaters in the crowd that day would be let off scot-free."

I lean conservative and for a long time was one of those people who thought that he was bad but wasn't a facist and that sort of rhetoric was over-reactive. And for those reasons I voted for Harris, but I think I was underestimating him by far.
