We all know we should treat others as we would like to be treated, regardless of the color of our skin, the size of our bank account, or our sexual orientation.  Following the Golden Rule, in essence, is what we by leading a life of virtue.

Here, Plato seems to be saying that civilization that mocks virtue as “woke” is headed for its demise.

Re: Mocking Virtue, Was Plato “Woke?”

Of course, it’s possible that Democrats respect the religious beliefs of others, and that the Trump base is a collection of idiots who will believe anything.

Are Democrats Attempting to Ban Christianity?

Apparently, many congressional Republicans are concerned that Trump’s talk tonight, as it will center around the “stolen” election of 2020; they say it focuses too much on the past, and not enough on today’s “kitchen table issues,” e.g., the economy, the war, etc.

This is a gross mischaracterization of Republicans’ true concerns, which is the continued erosion of Trump’s credibility and the deterioration of his mental health.  Six years later there is still not a shred of evidence of significant voter fraud, and the subject has been reviewed by 60+ courts and dozens of state election officials.

Trump will come off as a liar and crackpot, which is exactly what he is, though this isn’t a good look going into the midterms.
