Indeed.
I am 61 now and I've lived my whole life as an optimist. I've always made an assumption of a basic goodness of the human species. If we see one of us kicking a puppy, we revile that individual, right? We rise up as a majority and set a standard that that kind of thing is unacceptable. That standard is passed down to the next generation and we improve as a species.
But now it seems we have taken multiple steps back.
Trump is amoral, shallow, ignorant and cruel. How can any decent human being look upon him and not recoil in revulsion? This is before we even address his competency to lead a nation. Yet 48% of Americans voted for this human shit stain. What does that say about us as a culture?
VERY depressing.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
