A Culture of Cruelty

King Trump, his cronies and his loyal Administration members are imposing a culture of cruelty across this country.  The incarceration of hard-working immigrants under inhumane conditions is the most egregious but their lack of concern for impoverished and disadvantaged American citizens is evident in almost all of their policies.

The withdrawal of Medicaid coverage, the defunding of child welfare programs and significant cuts in foreign aid all impose major hardships (with, in many cases, deadly results) on those who are most vulnerable.  White men in expensive suits appear on TV to justify this behavior but we all know that racism lies at the heart of their arguments.

Ironically, Republicans are more likely to wear their faith on their sleeves, touting their church affiliation while treating fellow human beings like disposable, lazy, criminal trash.  How Christian of them.
