and come back to haunt us later.

I expect our prisons to become even more overcrowded in the next several years, and booming business for psychiatrists. Drug crisis to be compounded many times over. It will be difficult for these kids to have normal relationships.

You have to give this beast one thing--he WILL be one of the most influential presidents ever.

I was probably under 10 when I first heard it and the words deeply affected my thinking about race. Thanks for posting it.

More like "go into hiding and require police protection due to credible and specific death threats"

know an asshole when they see one. They know that what he's teaching is what an asshole he is.

Don't worry about the kids. The kids are all right.

It takes a long time to unlearn what they see as reality.

Only repercussions (impeachment/decisive defeat) will validate that wrong isn't a valid lifestyle choice.

He is the culmination of what they've been after for 40 years.

We must get rid of Trump but that is -- to put it very mildly -- only the beginning of the work we need to do.

He is spewing hate alright!!! I hate him and his followers with a passion, I have never ever in my life hated anyone so much. He/they are despicable human beings. I have been a Democrat all my life and I am from a whole line of Democrats. I have known lots of republicans, tho and although I haven't agreed with them on many issues, I never hated any of them. I believe DJT and his followers are not republican at all, they call themselves republicans so they can get away with tearing our country apart, they have formed another party right before our eyes. It is a party of hate, lies, misinformation, perversion and they want to take over our country. Why don't the good people of both the Democratic and republican parties stand up to DJT and all of them and do something about it. This is another civil war and unless we fight it, they will win!!!

Sondheim has a lyric, “Children must be carefully taught.” I can’t imagine the number of the children of MAGA parents who are in the schoolyard telling black and brown children to go back where they came from.

On edit: it wasn’t Sondheim... it was Rodgers and Hammerstein, which is posted earlier in the thread.

"A father instructs. He raises a child to be good, to be honest, to tell the truth, to be humble, to be fair, not to be petty, to respect women, to accept fair criticism, to protect the weak and not to injure the injured, such as the bereaved parents of a son who died heroically in Iraq and a reporter with a physical disability. Trump teaches otherwise. He shows a boy that the manly virtues are for suckers, that the narcissism of youth should be cherished and that angry impulses have to be honored. Lots of men have failed as presidents, as Trump surely will, but few fail so dismally as role models. He’s a boy’s idea of a man. He’s a man’s idea of a boy."
