He has lowered our standards on pretty much everything we used to hold as aspirational. Honesty. Decency. Abiding by the law. Forgiveness. Love. Respect. Knowledge.
I know - "another Trump thread." It's just so striking to me, especially since his proponents come from a pool of citizens who used to be outraged by much smaller offenses, and who formerly were champions of the rule of law & telling the truth. They're now anti-cop, anti-DOJ, anti-courts, anti-equality, anti-diversity, anti-everything that isn't Trump.

It makes me very sad. And pessimistic, which isn't my m.o.
