The Presidential Centers joint statement, released yesterday, asserts:
“Civility and respect in political discourse, whether in an election year or otherwise, are essential.”
I freely confess that I struggle mightily to afford respect to anyone who lies, denies simple facts, and doesn't care about the health and voting rights of BIPOC, women and LGBTQ Americans.

Should write out the current definitions of these words, at least the way politicians use them.
Honor, something to be lavished on the rich or powerful
