Dave, do you think this discussion could have occurred 10 years ago?
Heather's LFAA today ties right in with yours.
We should be astounded that so many people can be so suspicious of our election process. We should be shocked that so many falsehoods could become reality for millions.
But what blows my mind the very most is....how can ANYONE say they like a bully con man who molests women and steals Top Secrets? How?
I think it could have Bill, but I don't think it would have because the contrast wasn't as great. I'm with you in not being able to understand how anyone, but especially women and people of color can justify supporting a misogynistic rapist who is also a racist and fascist by his own statements. It will take us a long time to put this to rest.
'Keep in mind that acceptance and support of strangers is a basic tenet of every significant moral, theological, ethical and philosophical system known to exist anywhere in the world and that all the objections are mundane political creations intended to preserve the privileges of whatever group is currently in ruling class.'
This is a right each of us has excercised. Your writing is clear ethics class. Ethos may be the most missing part of the arguments right now (worldwide)

Thanks Kelly. Ethos has been the underlying message and concept in your ongoing conversation too. Authority absent responsibility always ends badly.

Dave,
Thank you for all the thought
that went into laying your analysis out for us.
You bring the chaos we are facing into clarity.
Your questions are bracing, challenging, liberating.
So constructive as we proceed together
to choose stronger leaders going forward.
Thanks Deborah. Your support is very much appreciated. We will overcome.
