America’s essential decency suffered in 2024. For that, you can thank Trump

In terms of fundamental human decency, 2024 was a bad year. Since whatever developed into humans came out of the primordial ooze, no year has been very good for human morality, If we are being honest. Since humans lack fundamental decency, I suppose it didn’t take long for the first human being to do anything offensive. 2024 was still not ideal.

Trump, hate speech, and bizarre conspiracy theories characterised 2024. To give foolish politicians something to frighten, a whole population of lawful immigrants in Ohio was called dog-eaters.
A convicted criminal who was found guilty of sexual assault and accused of several other offences, a man who lies so blatantly that he has almost destroyed.

Yhe concept of “facts,” and someone who was elected president once again on a pledge to treat people cruelly. A nutball who believes that vaccinations, one of the greatest medical innovations, are terrible and that we should all fight off illnesses by consuming raw milk tainted with germs was elevated to the position of national health official.
Right-wing conspiracy theorists jumped in when a huge bridge collapsed in Baltimore, claiming it was related to the ostensibly sinister idea of “diversity.”

By the end of the year, a South Dakota governor who acknowledged killing her dog Cricket in a gravel pit was chosen to lead the Department of Homeland Security. Viewpoint: Did you foresee Trump’s significant victory? We didn’t. Here are some more mistakes we made in 2024.

Remember the wars and the unending school shootings. Politicians did absolutely little to halt school shootings, which continued to occur. If there is a collective human conscience, it should be shocked to learn that wars went on with little concern for the deaths of innocent people. I don’t think it does. Decency isn’t exactly our thing, as was previously said. But as you can see, there was one very offensive figure responsible for a large portion of the immorality here at home. A guy who has succeeded.

In melting reality TV-heated minds and become the focal point of our political universe for the last ten years. Trump is unredeemable and exposes the ugliest aspects of American society.

Trump embodies all of our worst traits and is a golden calf. These worst characteristics have been normalised due to his pervasiveness. In American society and his impending return to the presidency. He has supported harsh dictators and provided solace to antisemites, white racists, and insurrectionists. Trump’s hallmarks are the same behaviours that any parent would advise their kid to avoid: lying, bullying, and boasting.

Another argument about Trump being a tough leader, the ideal candidate for president, or someone who appeals to “regular Americans,” whatever that term means, Is not anything I need or want to hear. He is not justified by anything. Nothing. Viewpoint: Trump misrepresented the cost of food. It’s too ‘hard’ to cut expenditures, he argues.

He sacrificed American decency at an altar he constructed to honour himself because of his narcissism and desire for wealth and power, and he will always be a blot on American history.

It doesn’t matter how the nation does under his future leadership. Getting there has already come at too high a moral cost. Just wait if you thought that 2024 was a poor year for American decency.
Trump is not at all to accountable for all of America’s problems. For a while now, we have been a flawed country full of scoundrels.
But without a doubt, Trump alone has increased the nation’s cruelty, dishonesty, and willingness to accept that unethical behaviour may lead to success.
