Trump’s Legacy: 2024’s Decline in American Decency
The year 2024 was marked by a significant decline in basic human decency, largely fueled by the re-election of a president known for his cruelty, dishonesty, and embrace of hateful rhetoric. This normalization of immoral behavior, exemplified by the president’s actions and the rise of conspiracy theories, resulted in increased social division and a disregard for ethical conduct. The year also witnessed continued school shootings and ongoing wars, highlighting a global apathy towards widespread suffering. The author concludes that the moral cost of the political climate has already been immense, foreshadowing a potentially far worse future.
