America’s broken moral compass

The United States has always taken great pride in being the world’s moral compass. 

A strong religiosity, a Constitution most American cherish and respect, an ardent patriotism, a rather puritan society, all elements that have always been the hallmark of that great country. 

Comes Trump and the whole myth begins to disintegrate and America’s steadfast, moral compass breaks down. As a result, most of its population gets numbed to that deterioration and accepts it as the “new normal”, even those – and that’s the worst part – who didn’t and still don’t support Donald Trump. 

Lies, misrepresentation, blatant racism and discrimination become the new norm. Trump as poisoned America’s well and in so doing, the only oily matter that now shows up on its dirty surface is that hypocrisy that always was lurking behind the scenes. 

Isn’t high time that we we flushed all of that toxic matter down?
