I know we're all desensitized at this point, but it's impossible to exaggerate how repulsive the behavior described in this article is. Politically, morally, just on a human level -- utterly repulsive. nytimes.com/2020/12/31/us/…
Not just Trump, either. Every single human being involved. The hangers-on, the opportunists, the entire crew -- just utterly, utterly repulsive. Hundreds of thousands of Americans dead & not one of them seemed to think for a moment about anything but political optics.
The great dilemma of our time is: what if a certain type of person, a certain type of politics, and a certain political party are discredited in the most spectacular, lurid way possible ... and it just doesn't matter? None of the adherents notice, or care? How do you just go on?
Millions of bloodthirsty people cheered wildly at this desecration & now -- with nary a word of apology or regret -- I'm being told to "reach out" to them. We're just supposed to move on & act like we're doing normal politics instead of trapped in a country with sociopaths.
Worst of all, us geezers lived this entire cycle before, in the 2008 election & after. And guess what? There's never an apology, never a reckoning, never any justice -- the shitheads just go right on being shitheads & the whole bloody nightmare fades into history.
