Forget “presidential,” Donald’s State of the Union address met the most categories of horrible words and deeds (22 out of 51 tracked) of anything Donald has done since I started tracking his horrible behavior last July.
Our patriarchal culture, where power is vested in men, leads to men using sexual harassment and assault as a weapon to control women. As women rightfully take more power from men, this dynamic will slowly change.
That Donald is a racist has been obvious to anyone paying attention. His referring to Africa and Haiti as “shitholes” is merely the latest evidence.
A new lawsuit against Google by former employee and self-described “conservative white male” James Damore boils down to toddler’s tantrum: “I don’t wanna share my privileges with women and minorities.”
December saw 138 examples of horrible behavior, with the biggest increases coming in the categories of sexual harassment/assault, race baiting, splitting up immigrant families, attacking equal protection under the law, and demagoguery.
Donald’s personal moral failures are legion. So are the similar failures of others in his Administration. Over 25% of the 570 examples of appalling behavior I recorded between July 1 and November 30, 2017 exhibited at least one moral failure.
“Me too” is driving a wave of change across the country. If Donald’s accusers force him from office, that wave will turn into a tsunami.
November 2017 saw Donald and his minions say or do at least 146 horrible things.
The United States is in an existential fight for its democratic soul and its American values. Media VIPs should treat lying politicians accordingly.
Women are coming forward in droves to accuse men of sexual harassment and assault. This is a good thing. Men need to do their part too.
