Civilized

We have elected an American president who shuns all those things that represent civilized society. He is on tape gloating over how he can sexually abuse women. He has been recorded making crude, rude and blatantly awful comments about good people of all sorts.

Our president has been heard promising to do illegal things because he sees nothing wrong with them. He is backed by white supremists and the KKK. He finds little value in kindness, courtesy, or even science unless it furthers his every whim.

He and His people can commandeer our Supreme Court and states. They can threaten our news media. They can take away our already legislated rights.

But they cannot make decent, educated, civilized people respect them, so there can be no facade of respect while we struggle to retain our rights in the United States of America.

We have to tell it like it is and stand shoulder to shoulder with each other under a man who finds little value in everything we believe in.
