Did believing humanity needs saving via “faith” in a “savior” for a “crime” their “savior” allowed but of which they themselves had no possible part whatsoever leave any room for moral bankruptcy to be even more complete?
More seriously, regardless of how trump leaves office, he vastly open the eyes and expanded the horizon of people at all levels of governance and politics of this countries to the gains that can be realized through abuse of power, overt contempt for even the appearance of observing the law, unabashed divisiveness, and total disregard for any notion of fiduciary duty, long term benefit and collective good. He showed 80 years after the new deal, those interested in the good for the majority will not act as decisively to thwart those who are interested in stealing from the majority as thieves will act to increase their loot, so those who will steal from all to give himself will win out over those will seeks to leave some for all. Fundamentally he made it clear that even the last basis for the notion that collectively, the influence of the US upon the world is on the whole virtuous no longer exists.
