Trump's very existence in my country offends me. He is an unparalleled melding of
willful ignorance, unjustified arrogance and jaw-dropping narcissism. He is mean, selfish, greedy, vulgar, classless, self-centered and totally without a sense of shame. If he ever possessed a conscience, it long ago shrivelled into some twisted and scabby tumor which he ignores.
When I watch a few seconds of one of his "campaign rallies", the sick rapture of his fawning disciples literally makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. I simultaneously fight the urge to vomit and the urge to reach into the TV and shake some sense into the bleating MAGAts.
There is no respect due Trump. There is nothing he could ever do to redeem himself. No one who supports him or defends him can ever be my friend or share my space.
Yes, Trump's existence in my country offends me, but the fact that so many in the world wrongly consider him my *president sickens me and saddens me and embarrasses me. One way or another, this-will-not-stand.

Everything bad is liberal. They use it as a descriptor now. 
Atticus inspired me.
with the term "decent people" or something similar, that sort of being how I take it in a lot of contexts when it comes to "cultural" or "social justice" type issues...and I replaced "conservative" with, well, another term...here's part of the results...:
People often vote against things instead of voting for them: against ideas, candidates and parties. Democrats, like Republicans, appreciate this whenever they portray their opponents as negatively as possible. But members of political tribes seem to have trouble recognizing that they, too, can push people away and energize them to vote for the other side. Nowhere is this more on display today than in normal and decent control of the commanding heights of American culture.
...
Decent people dominate the entertainment industry, many of the most influential news sources and America’s universities. This means that people with progressive leanings are everywhere in the public eye — and are also on the college campuses attended by many people’s children or grandkids. These platforms come with a lot of power to express values, confer credibility and celebrity and start national conversations that others really can’t ignore.
But this makes decent people feel more powerful than they are. Or, more accurately, this kind of power is double-edged. Decent people often don’t realize how provocative or inflammatory they can be. In exercising their power, they regularly not only persuade and attract but also annoy and repel.
...
This judgmental tendency became stronger during the administration of President Barack Obama, though not necessarily because of anything Mr. Obama did. Feeling increasingly emboldened, decent people were more convinced than ever that self-centered, idiotic cretins were their intellectual and even moral inferiors. Discourses and theories once confined to academia were transmitted into workaday normal and decent political thinking, and college campuses — which many take to be what a world run by decent people would look like — seemed increasingly intolerant of free inquiry.

Why don’t you say what you really think?
Seriously this is a great post. I like your posts.
and more... I am sickened that this is happening in our Country... I am absolutely confused and frustrated that this allowed to stand... I am embarrassed, angry and discouraged that so many of my fellow citizens do not see the damage being done... 
I can't stand the sound of his voice. When I see him on the news I mute the TV three word into his sentence.
