Published 2024-05-25
Today, in honor of Memorial Day, we take a deep dive into the common good versus its antithesis — Trumpism. We look at what’s happened to the common good, why Trumpism is attractive to so many these days, and how the common good can be resurrected.
Please grab a cup, pull of a chair, and join the conversation.

It started with Reagan blaming poverty on poor people and when companies switched from treating employees as an investment to as an expense. That is my life experience, at least.

It will take generations to get over the mess he left. If he somehow does get reelected... we're screwed.

Thank you for a worthy discussion. I find it ironic that the decline in concern for the common good is most prominent among a group of people who also profess to be Christians. It's stranger than fiction.

Thank you for this discussion. Loved the sidebar about why “It’s a Wonderful Life” is so relevant. As humans we have the opportunity to do good every day and each action triggers more.

He absolutely did. His cruel, anti-social beliefs spread to every person hiding hate and racism in their hearts. It gave them a platform to spread their message.

I worked in an electronics shop for several months back then and they played Rush loud all day long. I was not political but what my coworkers would say to each other after being inspired by Rush made me a democrat for life.

Gingrich / Gecko was definitely a turning point in America. The acceptance of selfish and greed as good.

My German relatives have often asked me why Americans are so selfish. My answer has been the Americans look at themselves as being more important than society, while Europeans put their society first over their personal interests.
