“Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth” is perfectly descriptive of where we are with the Republican Party that wants only white people here, no women working outside the home except for house cleaning and other menial jobs for poor women, and LGBTQ firmly hidden in the closet out of sight.

The only memorable thing Trump ever said was obscene, but his cult prefers such obscenity over decency. I miss the days when we had true statesmen like JFK as leaders.
