    The coarsening of American public life is not really a problem as far as I'm concerned but it's interesting to see.

        We lost shame. I'm not sure how we get it back, but I think that's where everything started going wrong.

        If I had younger children, I don't know quite how I would explain any of this.

        I have little ones. Easy: "The president is a terrible person who almost half the country agrees with. Also, your grandparents are racists."

        It's a problem to the extent that the abrogation of all norms leads to a phenomenon like Trump.

        What led to Trump was GOP unwillingness to stand up to its racist base & even work with Obama on things they agreed with. Lost their soul.

        I keep referring back to your brilliant analysis of Donald Trump as the first post modern president. Fluid modernity

        Some decorum is necessary, I think, to keep the beast at bay Should one find "lock her up," "grab them by the pussy" merely "interesting?"
