I am 91 and have lived through many serious times and saw our nation come through them with a certain honor. The depression, the second WW11, the Korean war, Viet Nam. Impeachment of two presidents. We survived and thrived. However in the 60’s young people were rebelling and stated that morality is not the basis for good but doing whatever turns your on. Not saying as long as it does not harm anyone , just whatever you want to do. I was fearful that this would be accepted by our nation and if so would bring about a desperate situation. Well, it did catch on, and by the 80’s greed had taken over and church attendance was going down. If you accepted that argument then anyone who disagreed with you was your enemy and was seen as someone who wanted their way and you not having yours. We have a President who thinks that way and threatened those who disagreed with him and followed through with those threats. he encouraged anger, hatred and bullyism and we are experiencing the results.
