Party Discipline
This from Wretchard T. Cat
For those familiar with the Left, what happened to Karim Khan, Graham Platner and Cesar Chavez is straight out of the playbook of the purges: "bourgeois immorality". Here's how revolutionary discipline works. While people were were always purged for political reasons, the public charge to make it odious was nearly always personal "decadence".
For example Genrik Yagoda reported to Stalin about "pederast activists" involved in orgies and alleged espionage/counter-revolutionary activities. This is how he strung people up.
Then he himself was arrested and executed with raids on his apartments and dacha uncovering a large collection of pornographic materials. He died begging for his life from Yezhov his successor.
Yezhov (AKA "the dwarf") was later arrested and executed by Beria, for among other crimes organizing drunken sexual orgies in his Kremlin apartment, involving both male and female partners and engaging in the most perverted forms of debauchery. He too died pleading for mercy but none was given.
When he fell Beria himself was accused of kidnapping hundreds of young girls and raping them in a special soundproofed room. These acts were framed as "bourgeois immorality," sexual deviancy, and moral corruption — the same rhetorical category used against Yagoda and Yezhov. He met the same end as his predecessors.
The big mystery of the Communist Party is how it can be so strictly morally revolutionary and yet so full of perverts at the same time. How could an organization so skilled at parsing pronouns, quick to take umbrage at the slightest disrespect and of such ethical standards be so full of scumbags?
The obvious answer is it 's all a sham. The whole damn edifice is rotten and it's held together by reciprocal blackmail with each holding the goods on others. Just imagine the ICC sitting in judgment of creeps when it turns out to have been led by a creep all along.
During his show trial in 1938, former Soviet secret police (NKVD) chief Genrikh Yagoda confidently and desperately begged Joseph Stalin for mercy. Believing he would be spared, he cried out: "I appeal to you! For you I built two great canals!" His plea was ignored, and he was executed shortly after the trial.
Records from his execution indicate that Nikolai Yezhov collapsed and begged for mercy. Reports suggest he broke down physically and emotionally, reportedly losing control of his bodily functions. So abject was he that his last words were "Tell Stalin that I shall die with his name on my lips."
Lavrentiy Beria broke down and begged for mercy on his knees right before he was shot. He reportedly wailed on the floor and crawled for his life. Witnesses claim that his behavior was so pathetic that his executioners had to stuff a rag in his mouth to silence him before General Pavel Batitsky shot him in the forehead.
These accounts were so theatrical that I was inclined to believe they were urban legend. But an only slightly fictionalized version of these deaths was presented by George Orwell in 1984, notably the Room 101 scenes and the fact that Winston Smith, like Yezhov dies proclaiming his love for Big Brother.
According to Stalin's daughter herself, the great dictator died in a paroxysm of terror pointing and gurgling at a painting on the wall, since taken down by his successors and stored never to be seen again.
So who knows?

Bigger cause is voter indifference. They don't care about corruption so long as the legislator votes in favor of their pet cause, i.e. Social Security if the voter is over 65, parimutual betting if the voter likes to gamble, etc.
Ignorance is part and parcel of that. The voter doesn't read about what the legislator does, except for what he does with respect to their single issue.We get the government which we knowingly elect.

You are right about voter indifference Bill. Take Bill Clinton (please). But Mr. Kat is right in that this is a tried and true technique used by the Left.
