100% agree. We lost civility, compassion, respectfulness, and kindness while he was in office the last time. What kind of child makes up names like Shifty Schiff or Gavin Newscum! I absolutely hate that!

He’s showing his uneducated brain. I will never believe he went to college, I’m not even sure he graduated from high school. Either Daddy bought his diplomas or the schools wanted to get rid of him.

I don't think we lost anything other than the facade that people used for us to think they were actually kind, compassionate or respectful.

If they can’t be respectful, we can make them so uncomfortable that they crawl back under that rock that Trump made them comfortable enough to come out from under and show how disgusting they really are.

We’ve been pushed that way for the last 40 years. We CAN be kind, compassionate and empathetic. Things that Jesus taught. Make America Great Again? How about 1974-76? We taxed the wealthy, No social media rage porn, shared a bicentennial, and weren’t making ourselves choke on our own waste.

Amyet during that timeframe there was just as much racism, misogyny & asinine people, as there is now. They may have been quieter for a few years but they were always there. My grandparents and parents were alive in the timeframe you're referring to, and they were not good people, which was common.

The difference between now and then is that people back then would tend to hide their racism, homophobia, etc. because there were too many others who might slap the snot out of them. They never knew who it was safe to be themselves around. Today trump made it ok to be a total jerk. He celebrates it.

I disagree. It is 24/7 racist disinfo from FOX, OAN, Newsmax on every TV since the 1990’s, but especially since Obama. Propaganda caused nice Germans, not Nazis, to move forward n 10 years support massacring millions of Jews.

Who enabled FOX? Before trump if any guy said he could grab a women by the p his career and popularity would be done. Repubs defended trump and emboldened owners of the media to take it a step further. We now know if you own repub media you can lie and control the story.

No one enabled FOX. Rupert Murdoch started it. And you are right, RW media just gradually went further right, because the viewers were gullible, misinformed, and then, addicted. Now fascism and racism is more profitable.

And Jesus really isn't a part of this, as the near entirety of "Christianity" is so far away from Christ in thought and deed that there is really not much hope of them ever being Christ-like.

How in the world do you know what any Christian would do, much less all of them? Sorry, but you are way out over your skis on that one. Have you ever even tried? Or Lets just all give up, and do whatever we want until our lives end.

I've watched the 7 Mountains evangelical power-seekers dig like evil moles into every facet of American life, and make it worse than it was. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_M... CJWilkinson is right, the unchristian bigotry and hate was just under the surface once; it is no longer today.

Growing up gay in the late 90s proved to me that CJ is correct about this barbarism having always held sway over the American right (especially after it married itself to evangelicals). But Jones is also correct that Christianity is far from the monolith it’s portrayed as here. I had to learn that.

Back then, all anyone had to do was apply the old test of watching how people treated the powerless among them. Gay people had no power and barely any places to call their own. And evangelicals teed off on them like conquistadors on unarmed native villagers. The cruelty was always their point.

But they are outnumbered by a much quieter Christianity that doesn’t behave that way any more. I had to reprogram my natural reactions to religion caused by those evangelical pigs, bc it was becoming toxic to people who were friendly and had never done me any harm. If that makes sense

I know what 7 Mountains. I've read the Bible. I Amam ex Mormon. I know what Christ teaches, Hun. I know what Christ teaches and what religions do and do not follow as far as what Christ teaches. You should perhaps read the Bible yourself.
