How ugliness spreads in a society:
“It’s a shame”… but… they are just “passionate” people.
It is very telling that one thing that I immediately noticed regarding Trump’s reaction to his followers engaging in a racist - and there is no other term that can describe this crime - beating of a hispanic man.
Not only was there a complete lack of condemnation, in fact, his reaction was that he appeared to give an implied approval, by only labeling his followers as ‘passionate’.
If you ever wanted to have a reason for the United States to never go to a parliamentary-style government, the ability to keep fascists like Trump out of a position of power is about as good of as an example as any.
