Tarnishing our souls with cruelty and hatred (#3797)

     The time right now that we are living in here in America is heartbreaking. Yet through the heartbreak we are also angered to a degree that is white hot and seething. Those of us who cannot stop the trump and his crusade against the innocence of life are being stoked with a determination to end the reign of trump with a fervor unto foreseen in the modern political era. The appointment of trump has been the most ghastly event of our lifetimes with no other president coming close to the intentional harm as a racist and misogynist.
     The history that will follow us from this time will not be comforting nor kind. It will be shameful and a blow to what democracy can do for the world. Which is unfortunate in that democracy can be a great public paradigm when honesty is more important than greed, hatred, and lust. Apparently our society is not there yet even though many of us believe it is possible. What trump has shown us is that there is too much greed, hatred, and lust still within our considerations that we are unable to move past them at this time in our evolution.
     I know myself and it is not what I just described. Yet there are not enough like who I am to offset those who are of a worse nature. At least those who are like me and millions of others have not shown themselves to be. Until then I am stuck with the reality that our nation is a most imperfect one that has no moral or ethical right to exist beyond anything else out there that tries to live in civilized behavior. The stark reality is that trump has shown the underbelly of a camouflaged society living as a just one while practicing and enjoying an unjust lifestyle. Here we are in it, those of us who are not like trumps, but what to do while the masquerade continues?
