These Repugs are setting an absolutely horrible example for young people.

It is not just OK but smart to be as crooked as you can be. Laws simply don't matter.

It is OK and smart to swindle everyone you do business with.

It is OK and smart to figure out how to get around paying taxes and obeying regulations.

It's smart and ok to simple lie about everything. Ok to promise the moon and then just pretend you never said that.

It's OK to simply ignore the truth and just make up your own truth. If you don't like something just make up a reality that you do like.

This whole thing is just unbelievable to me. It's not only alternative facts it is a whole alternative universe.

1. the republican role-model-in-chief is a moral skank of the lowest order

...and republican children are having him - draft and tax dodging pussy-grabbing, contract-breaking, serial-lying, business cheater casino swindler- put up in front of them as what they should grow up to be.

deplorable.

2. I forgot to list pussy grabbing.

Also racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc.

There is no bottom to this.

4. Parents are the first line of defense against this

Parents need to teach kids to expect better than that and to be better than that. We also need to steer more of the good young people into politics to fix this situation. Dems should really be working on getting the young people (high school and college age) more engaged then previous generations have been.

5. I'm been worrying about that myself

Whether it's the Republicans, the Trumpian Right in general, the 1%, etc. who flagrantly run afoul of laws, norms, conventions, etc. while the little people get punished for doing the same thing and others have to clean up after these groups while they have the power.

It's a whole other task telling kids, teenagers, and young adults that this is not "normal" and this is not what they should aspire to be or have for themselves or others.

7. Republicans selected the lowest form of life for the highest office on Earth.

Yes, we're living in a different world.

8. Greed is king.

Greedy corporate types are always thinking short term. They simply don't care about the long term effects of what they do.

Beside being the sleaziest people on earth.
