Consider some of the people whose lying could have a great personal impact on your life:

your spouse, close friend, pastor or other faith leader, foreman, supervisor, doctor, counselor, superior officer----others that may be unique to you.

Now, how many thousands of lies would you endure before you found some way to sever your relationship and disassociate yourself from that abuse?

Would you respect anyone who just continued to allow the daily insults to their intelligence and value by transparent lies that no reasonable person could possibly believe?

The price of STILL supporting Trump is simply the abandonment of any smidgen of self respect. People who can be persuaded to think so little of themselves must be so spiritually bereft that they see no alternative.

I have left jobs over issues that were against my principles. I did it and never regretted it. I had maintained my dignity, self respect and morals. What is so damned difficult about leaving a job that everyone knows is full of BS, lies, crime, unAmerican values, etc? I just don't get it and never will.
