Don't make excuses

If Trump is gone, Pence would step in and the agenda wouldn't change. This has nothing to do with policies or who won/lost the election. I know that not everyone who voted for him is a bigot, but I don't understand how intelligent people can continue to defend what he says and does. I have respect for those who voted for him who can now say he's a dangerous, dementia-riddled embarrassment. But those who can't see and admit it are allowing themselves to be manipulated at the expense of our country and their credibility. And if you stay silent, if you continue to make excuses, if you try to fool yourself into believing this is appropriate presidential behavior, then you will be remembered by your children and grandchildren as complicit, as one who stood by and let America's decency get dragged through the mud.
