When Trust is Lost

I have been very careful to write about my political thoughts from the middle of the aisle.  I do not want to be identified as either Republican or Democrat and I also do not want to be identified as either Conservative or Progressive.  I do not even want to be identified as Independent even though that group is closest to my personal political value system.  It is important that I set down this disclosure right up front because my work, going forward, will be taking on the actions of the Republican Party in a far more critical way.

I have referred to the Republican Party as the party of prejudice, but I have been careful to write that my thoughts are in reference to the Republican Party and not to individual Republicans.  Not all individual Republicans follow the same prejudicial values as the Party espouses.  That said President Trump has presided over the Republican Party and caused a sort of reverse metamorphosis changing the Party from a butterfly to a caterpillar.

Under the leadership of President Trump, individual Republicans were freed to bring their private prejudicial values out into the light of day.  They were provided with the comfort that comes with being part of a grouping of people who share the same beliefs.  For those members of society who do not share these beliefs there has also been an awakening.  They have been forced to recognize the size of the population of prejudicial persons in their midst every day and that population is much larger than was previously thought.  In fact, that prejudicial population is so big that individual Republicans cannot be afforded the benefit of the doubt as it relates to their personal political values.

President Trump’s value system is easily identifiable as White Supremacist and those members of the Republican Party who have ventured out into the open seem to share that value system.  Any Republican Party member who does not hold these values now faces a choice.  Either publically remove themselves from the Party or be lumped in with those un-American White Supremacists who remain.  The brand of the Republican Party has been so defiled that it is beyond repair because we cannot trust the Party or any of its members to live their lives in a manner consistent with our Constitutional values.

We cannot know where all this current dysfunction will lead, but the Republican Party has lost the trust of the American people to operate according to an American Constitutional set of values.  Trust is hard to gain because we all must witness behaviors we approve of for a long time before we begin to give our trust going forward.  Trust is far more easily lost than it is gained because it only takes one significant indiscretion to convince us that our trust has been violated and will probably be violated again in the future.  The Republican Party has lost our Trust and I, for one, have no idea what it will take to regain it.

    do not mind. I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.

    minutes are usually lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or
    tips? Thank you!

    1. Your description of your process does not sound all that different from my experience. Sometimes the words just flow onto the page and other times I must work harder to get them out. I think this is that thing called writer’s block. Hang in there, you have good things to say and you should share them.

  30. Hey this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know
    if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!
