(6,682 posts)Just speaking for myself, it is dispiriting and energy-draining to see so much criminal/deplorable behavior benefit so damn many criminals/deplorables. Bad behavior is as old as the human race and Im aware that bad behavior has benefited some throughout history.
At the risk of sounding like a crotchety, grumpy, judgmental old person in a creaky rocking chair on the front porch...I dont remember a time in my life that so many people publicly delight in being deplorable. I feel naive in my past optimism, seeing people through my own personally made rose colored glasses. Atticus wrote much better than I.
It remains to be seen if, in the long run, this popularity of criminals/deplorables will continue. For whatever good it may do, Ill keep speaking up for to keep decency in our country.
