There used to be respect for the dead. Particularly if they were murdered. Particularly if they were just now murdered. Not to forget that one of his children apparently did it.

There used to be respect.

To spit on someone's fresh grave is beyond all apologetics . It's a degenerate generation.

We all know Trump is sometimes vulgar, uncouth and generally lacking in class. But he is also a human being who twice escaped assassination by deranged leftists, and who has long been placed in the rhetorical crosshairs by the left (including Biden - remember?). He didn't cheer for Rob Reiner's death (as Reiner would have undoubtedly have cheered for his), but he couldn't resist pointing out that Reiner suffered from a serious case of TDS. Which was true. Someone with a little more class would have passed over that, but would someone with a little more class have won against the odds he faced? Ask yourself where President Mitt Romney is today. We are in the midst of a cultural cold war that sometimes spills over into violence - which comes almost exclusively from the left - and to hold a flawed but heroic (yes!) leader like Trump to the manners and morals of an Edith Wharton character is simply absurd.

I am a Trump supporter who is disgusted by this. Two theories:

1.) He is Jekyl and Hyde. We are aware that Trump can be incredibly kind and generous to people who work for him or are down on their luck or in need of help. There are many accounts of this and it's not just white people that he will take care of. I don't have a clue how he decides who to be sweet and caring to. But then there is the opposite where he just rips someone apart.

2.) I also think that he is so upset by how he has been treated since 2015. He was practically drawn and quartered. Spit on, humiliated, and even lost some billions of dollars of wealth. I don't think he cares whether he satisfies any need for civility. He didn't get any and he doesn't have to give it if he doesn't want to.

He is a man with very public flaws. I wish he would take the high road when appropriate.

I am going to change the topic to Australia.

Did anyone else notice a "permission structure" materialize which othered and Nazified all Jews in the country over the last couple of years? Those structures are what establish what is sacred and what is permeable..........
