One of my very favorites, presidential historian Jon Meacham, was on Morning Joe this morning. What a clear thinker and articulate speaker.
Meacham ended his segment with a stark comment about something I often wonder about:
“So, the choice cannot be clearer. … If in fact [Trump] wins, maybe this is who we are. And maybe that's the complicated terrible reality that we’re gonna have to confront.”
Yes. Exactly. November 5th (and the days that follow until the votes are all counted) will be a defining moment; it will be a solid indicator of who we now are.
Me? I’m afraid of who we are and what we’ve become. What better testament can I point to than the violence and viciousness of our entertainment, the audacity of our bald-faced lies, and the denial of civility?
What do you think? Is Trump who we’ve (as an American society) become? Make your case.
