Roger Cohen with a great question..."There’s a deeper question, which comes back to the extraordinary Western landscape and the high American idea enshrined in it. Americans elected Trump. Nobody else did. They came down to his level. White Christian males losing their place in the social order decided they’d do anything to save themselves, and to heck with morality. They made a bargain with the devil in full knowledge.
Today at a pool party a kid that couldn’t swim jumped right into the 8ft section of the pool. Mom next to me asked “is he ok?” as we tried to comprehend if he was joking or flailing. His head went under- we hollered to “get him!” 14YO in my son’s class torpedoed over, grabbed & pushed him up as he got pushed under, moved him to the shallow, carried him to the stairs. The 11YO’s mom was in tears afterward. So glad a mom saw the distress, & so proud this 14YO had the poise & calm to act quickly.

Yes, that’s my cat chewing on the new “toy” he was dragging down the hall like a puppy...
