This meme recently appeared on my Facebook feed:
I didn't know whether to be sad or angry, so I settled on both. And I figured I might as well add a few points the meme's author missed:
It's un-American to question the actions of your government.
If you're strong and rich, laws don't apply to you; you can behave terribly and not suffer any consequences.The truth is whatever you say it is, as long as you repeat it loud and long enough.
You can ignore inconvenient facts and manufacture your own as you need.
I have three adult children, and six grandchildren ranging in age from 13 to 25. I hope that they continue to reject the despicable example set by this president and the members of his administration. And I hope that I never behave in a way that makes them think I would behave so terribly.
Have a good day. Believe in the Constitution and the law, not in the squalid and disgusting behavior of the current leadership.
More thoughts coming.

"loud and long enough." should have definitely been on that list.
Good additions. And perfect use of the word "squalid". It should be used more often in this context.
The original meme is such a sad reminder: kids are growing up thinking this behavior is okay, unless the adults in their lives take care to explain otherwise. What a horrible example Trump and his henchmen and henchwomen are.
