Again, 30 percent of America have isolated themselves into a world that will not answer to anyone. They see trump as someone who flaunts the law and the justice system. They answer to no one, they only care about themselves.
Yep. As we've said the coming election will tell us how perverse some 30% of the electorate really are. The only very important question is how many more will there be.
"So why is this rewarded today? Obviously, our culture has coarsened. But I know a lot of Republican voters who are decent in their personal lives. Perhaps some view this behavior as mere entertainment.
Or maybe they view politics as war, and they rationalize it through the guise of the just war theory. Whatever the case, it’s a stretch to call yourself a good person and simultaneously support this sort of rhetoric and poor conduct.
The world works better when people’s personal moral standards and society conspire to reward good behavior. Today, the system rewards bad behavior. Rather than turning off voters who see him as a bully or a blowhard, DeSantis is lauded as a “fighter.”
I’m no fan of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, but he showed some real righteous indignation when said of DeSantis: “I don’t like bullies.”
“To call [Dr. Fauci] pejorative terms because they’re short,” Newsom continued, “who the hell raised these guys?... I got four kids; I don't want these guys being [role] models.”"
If Penns. elects Oz over Fetterman even in part because of health concerns Churchill may never have survived. Thing is few knew and he did his job. Same goes for the cons beat-up fake concerns about Biden's health. FDR did the job. Biden does the job too.
