"It is normal to feel aghast at and disgusted by the Republican Party’s
war on the poor. The more challenging and perhaps even more disturbing
task is to ask why today’s conservatives feel such antipathy, disregard
and hostility toward poor and other vulnerable Americans."
The punchline: "Unfortunately, the Republican war on the poor is but one
sign of the deep moral rot at the heart of American society. This crisis
extends well beyond the election of Donald Trump and the cruelty that
has been both promised and so far enacted by his cadre and the
Republican Party. If a society is judged by how it treats the most
vulnerable and weak, America is a country in decline, a country whose
citizens should be ashamed of their leaders — and, in some cases,
ashamed of themselves."
