God of Decency

 From the time that Donald Trump descended the escalator on his way to the Presidency, I think the God of Decency has gone on sabbatical and left America in the hands of a brigade of reveling satans.

We have become a nation of meanness, anger and violence, too lacking in compassion and too driven by fear. America has lost its place and its respect as world leader. More nations are closer to becoming nuclear powers. We are wildly in debt in an unstable economy. We lead the world in COVID deaths. We practice selfish freedoms and call it patriotism. We cower in the me-world of Donald Trump.
Government seems impotent and corrupt. We fear socialism while the government shows every sign of authoritarian rule. Every issue is a black-and-white conflict, a tug of war, and politics and media feed off of this. Meanwhile, ordinary citizens just trying to get by are exhausted and hang onto easy lies that comfort them.
The death of RBG and the imminent appointment of another Trump Supreme Court justice is one more sign that the God of Decency has turned his back on America. It’s left to us who want a decent and compassionate America to subdue the satans.
