Is America irremediably rotten to the core?

A recent poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, conducted before Monday’s charges against Trump were made in the Georgia case, shows that about half of Americans — 53% — approve of the Justice Department indicting Trump over his efforts to remain in office after losing the 2020 election.

Not surprisingly, the poll finds 85% of Democrats approving of the criminal charges brought August 2 by Special Counsel Jack Smith, compared with 47% of independents and just 16% of Republicans. Only 3 in 10 Americans disapproved of the legal action against the former president, including about two-thirds of Republicans. 

In spite of Trump lies, illicit actions and probably repeated crimes, only just over half think that his alleged attempt to interfere in the Georgia’s 2020 vote count was illegal. This clearly suggests that the rest have no problem with that and must experience a serious breakdown of their moral compass, if they ever had one. 

What’s also remarkable is that the religious authorities, usually guardians of the Nation’s morality, have remained silent on the matter. God doesn’t seem to care about Donald Trump, even if he’s sponsored by Satan! 

In fact, Trump has legalized lies, horrible behavior and crime and it seems to me that it has been welcome with a sight of relief by an impressive number of people (around 40 to 45% of American), hypocrite enough to harbor these thoughts, but who couldn’t act on them overtly until Trump, by his continued actions, made them appear totally legitimate and acceptable. 

Should we deport these imbeciles to Antarctica?
