"And then there was this abhorrent racist social post that Donald Trump shared after his meeting with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. It was beyond abhorrent. It was sick and demented. It further proves that decency is dead in America when filth flies out of the Oval Office. Trump continues to prove what that he is an abject racist,"
"The behavior of spectators was far away from the basic decency that underpins a civil society. Their shouts, insults, and use of hideous slurs weren't just loud or rude. They was emblematic of a culture that now believes there are no consequences for cruelty. What it demonstrated was that anger is not only acceptable, but admirable, particularly when it's delivered in the harshest of ways."
Spectators at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage in New York hurled shouts, insults, and homophobic slurs at Rory McIlroy and European players, violating norms of respect and civility. A racist social post shared by Donald Trump after meeting with congressional minority leaders exemplifies a broader collapse of decency in political discourse. Cruelty and anger have become normalized and are sometimes celebrated, eroding unspoken norms of restraint and respect. A recalled episode of being kicked off a local golf course for drunken, obnoxious behavior contrasts with the far worse, sustained abuse observed at the event. The combined actions signal a degradation of public conduct and moral consequences.
