The Twilight of the Anti-Trump Idols
Anytime anyone elevates a human being to a status above human being, they are in for a rude awakening at some point.? Idolizing is a practice bound to create personal disappointment and feelings of betrayal.??
Cuomo did a lot for this country in a time when it was reeling.? He also abused his power.? Bill Clinton also abused his power and he also designated important lands as protected¡ªan enormous gift to the country (that Trump has tried to destroy of course).? Bush did a few things right and also started a war. The Pope, who at 84 years old, is limping his way to a historic trip to Iraq to show solidarity in faith, has also, in my opinion, failed so far on meaningfully addressing the ongoing horror of child abuse entrenched in the patriarchal structure of priesthood.? Objectively, these people do us a service when their failings are outed in the public sphere.???I can't think of a single good thing tRump did for the country except maybe focus us on the importance of maintaining a flawed democracy as opposed to an autocracy headed up by a megalomaniac.? The failings serve as a mirror for human behavior and society at large. What kind of society do we want to be???
