The endless details of daily life?

Every adult person is accountable for what they do and say. Even for what they choose not to do or say. I don’t know of anyone who isn’t aware of what Trump does, even on the most casual level. Try mentioning Trump’s name and you’ll know immediately what side every person falls on. Of my acquaintances there are some that are truly not interested in politics and they aren’t even remotely aware of his latest rage or outrage, but every single one is aware that it must be an outrage because they’ll just roll their eyes and sigh as if they know what he’s done, yet again, and again.

Sure, some are ignorant or “too busy”. But ignorance in their case is willful, which I don’t feel I wish to excuse anymore. The only ones I pity or don’t condemn are the pre-teen children. The ones whose souls are being bent and warped by a constant diet of hate from their elders.
