Every day is a new horror, revelation, lie or mortifyingly embarrassing behavior not fitting the leader of a democracy.
I wonder how we have come to this vile juncture that causes me regular misgivings. I wonder what my father would say about his lifelong membership in the once proud “Party of Lincoln.”
Dad was a principled citizen who believed in people and in the democratic process. He gave four years of his life to fighting for it in the European Theatre of World War II. Humanity, cooperation and helping others were tenets of his belief system as well as the principle that people are basically good at their core.
