There was a book back in the ‘50s, I think, called The Ugly American. What made me think of that now? Because we have a presidential election in which one of the candidates is a liar, a sexual predator, a convicted felon, and the election polls say the race is tied. It makes me lose faith in the exceptionalism of America. That half of the country would vote for such an unworthy, vindictive, childish narcissist who wants to take away freedoms of the Constitution, depresses me all to hell.
@Marc_T_Benedict True! I’m taken back to the ‘30s, when prominent Americans, like Lindbergh and Joseph Kennedy were Nazi sympathizers. It’s always been there, and now millions of Americans have the “permission” to state their racist, autocratic, misogynistic views openly without fear of being relegated to the wacko, ignorable minority.
@johnldeboer That a qualified public servant is even money against a twisted, Cluster-B freak says we have much larger problems than the freak.😗
