Descending

MOST SHOCKING AND DISAPPOINTING of all is the precipitous declie of the moralaity of the American conservative community, specifically, te evangelical Christian conservative Republican Trump movement, aka, "the wusual suspects". After all, isn't this the demographic which pride itslef on its moral speriority, patriotism, and religious devotion? Tragically, its all a sham. When eighty two percent of them support donald Trump a yer and a half after Trump's violent insurrection,and most of them falsely insist that the election of 2020 was stolen from Trump, where is the moral superiority? It seems more like moral corruption, immorality, and dishonesty. As for patriotis, since when do patriotic Americans refuse to accept the result of a free and fair national election, attempt to violently overthrow the government, by attacking and ransacking the nation's Capitol building, killing five people? The alarm sounded way back in 2016 when Trump's famous Access Hollywood interview, with its horrible debauched message, failed to bother his supporters - you knew something was wrong, even at that early stage. In retrospect, it seems evident that the rise politically of Donald J. Trump was the driving force which brought out the worst in the Republcian party, the evangelical conservative community, and destroyed its moral fabric, and any claim to moral integrity American conservatism might otherwise have had. By embracing Trump, American conservatism can feel comfortable with its own racism becasue Trump fels comfortable with it, comfortable tiwht its anti-immigrant attitudes, comfortable with its hatred of gay and transgender. people. American conservatism is a movement in denial; denial of alimcate change, of vaccinations, of Trump's election loss. All of these denials are deadly harmful to the country, harming the United States presumably well into the uncertain future. Ant attempt to suggest that moral decline is happenign equally on both sides of teh pooitical spectrum falls flat, untrue, without eny evidence to back up the notion. Moral depravity, like racism, sexism, and the various forms of reality denial, are characteristices of the far right, conservatism, political and religious. That iw why this malignant movement ust be voted out of existence, swept into the proverbial dust bin of American history.
