What I have observed from some of Trump's devotees is that they seem to be beyond embarrassment. All the things about Trump that should embarrass a reasonable, thoughtful person make them love him more.
I think it's because his most negative qualities are what they like best. It's all about getting even, and not about doing what's best for the country.
I only hope that those who are most vocal in their support of the insupportable are still a minority in the Republican party and that there are enough people who still think, rather than react from pure emotion who can overcome this unfortunate Trump-mania.
I am embarrassed. Embarrassed that thoughtful, intelligent people whom I respect and read here still dream about "the old days".
Ronald Reagan is dead. Gone.
And most of his followers and disciples are seasoned citizens who grew up in a completely different country than the one we live in today.
We have an entire generation of Millennials who can't start careers and are still living at home with their parents. Those that do have jobs/careers are working in government. They were NEVER taught the virtues of Reagan Conservatism.
They weren't even born yet. And they vote!
It's no different than you and I being expected to cherish the virtues of Calvin Coolidge.
That's the REALITY in which we live today.
And with the social media complex being controlled by Progressives...Academia infested with Leftists...and Hollywood feeding our young a steady diet of Zombie apocalypses and gore...Conservatives have become pariahs in the eyes of the majority of Americans.
I am truly embarrassed indeed.
