No consequences, that is, until reality delivers them, and half a nation of delinquents awakens to the result of successfully bullying half a nation of cowards and airheads.
We have been conditioned to allow a second chance to turn into a third, then a fourth, while we 'forgive and forget' and 'focus on the future'. Irresponsible behavior has little or no consequences.
What if that first major deception or act of irresponsibility had real consequences for the perpetrator? I am not talking about a mistake or a minor offense. I'm talking about really bad behavior. If that first offense had real consequences, it just might never happen. Because it doesn't usually have serious consequences, it often happens over and over. Will anybody be surprised when the next campus episode or government screw-up hits the press?
I loathe Trump. For a while I was rooting for him to lose with the hope that a loss would wake up Republicans. That time is long past. We cannot possibly afford four more years of this disaster either at home or abroad.
Speaking of no consequences. How about we mention our Political Class? For that matter Corporate Media. Anyone get fired or a week without pay for Russia, Russia, Russia?
