It isn't confined to Trump.
It's the marine who wouldn't stop talking when Bill Clinton let him ask a question and the Black Lives Matter people who shouted down Bernie. It's the way the Republicans undermined the notion of government by obstructing Obama in his first term; and in his final term, ending his Presidency by seeking to prevent the selection of a Supreme Court Judge, disregarding precedent.
It's the celebration of dreadful people. From Trump to Limbaugh to Kanye West. And the lack of shame in general. There needs to be a place that is beyond the pale.
Where are the folks one is meant to admire?
Every society needs standards of some sort, or the whole thing becomes a nasty porridge of antagonism and festering resentments.
It kinda seems to be getting worse. What a miserable sight.
