decency evaporates under the shadow of a leader who has no decency. civilizations cannot survive without human decency, without sympathy, without kindness. not decency and sympathy and kindness for your friends and family. that s the easy version. without decency and sympathy and kindness for people we don t know we are a dysfunctional society. a declining civilization. this ferris wheel will go back up. thanks to the constitution. no other civilization in decline has ever had the united states constitution to save it, to turn it around, to send it back up. the constitution gives the president a fixed four-year term. the constitution gives all of the real governing powers not to the president, but to the congress. the only absolute power the president has is the power to grant pardons.
in the decline of a civilization. some people don t care. some people can feel what s happening and others can t. others feel the opposite. they celebrate what is happening. every declining civilization has had their cheerleaders on their way down. some of the cheerleaders went to wellesley college today. two young men in a pickup truck with a donald trump flag drove through the wellesley college campus today while wellesley students were still crying about what happened last night. wellesley police asked them to leave. that s what happens with civilizations in decline. people laugh at other people s pain. decency evaporates under the shadow of a leader who has no decency. civilizations cannot survive without human decency, without sympathy, without kindness. not decency and sympathy and kindness for your friends and family. that s the easy version. without decency and sympathy and kindness for people we don t know we are a dysfunctional society.
