Can you really turn a good person into a scumbag? The chump allegedly has. But is that what has happened?

Or was mike pounce and mike pompousa** and liddlebillybarr and rudyg all scumbags deep down just waiting for the right person to come along and free them to be themselves?

I do not believe a GOOD person will ever be turned bad by vermin sellers. The bad is already there just waiting patiently and faking "good". At least it seems so to me.
