Can you even IMAGINE if Obama had been accused of cheating on Michelle with a porn star to whom he paid hush money??? Fox News and it’s goblin army would indict his character and integrity EVERY SINGLE TIME they mentioned his name. And that’s not hyperbole.
Tens of millions of Americans no longer care whether their President maintains even the semblance of moral rectitude. They listened to Trump boast of his penis size, and of habitual sexual assaults, then voted for him. They merely shrug at affairs with porn stars, and hush money.

This is the really striking phenomenon here, and it reflects a debasement of the American character. Once we believed in virtue, at least as a noble ideal. Now that belief has come to seem embarrassingly naive; many of us now expect our leaders to be self-indulgent scoundrels.

And even more frightening is the growing number of Americans who believe that facts simply do not exist -- that everything is up for grabs, and whatever contradicts your beliefs may safely be dismissed as mere conspiratorial fabrication. For discourse then becomes impossible.
