Another mass shooting and it barely registers. We've become numb to #gunviolence. Make it stop.

It started with a corrupted 2nd Amendment & gushed down from there

Moral decadence lowers standards of moral behavior & creates new but lower criteria for ethics & justice.
People are no longer required to act morally or ethically. Society no longer expects it

Moral decadence creates a general sense of cynicism.

People no longer expect each other to be noble. They no longer expect each other to be honest.

@PBruce Well that's pretty fucking bleak.

I don't think morality is the issue.

@Litzz11

Moral Decadence is defined and illustrated in the article and the US is noted as an example .It's not a subjective opinion, but research based conclusions

But simply put I do not believe millions of Republicans represent morality and the election of Trump is the clincher .
Immorality given a podium.
I'm open to any fact based argument that Republicans are moral

@PBruce I'm sure there are one or two out there.

But you're right, the party's positions are not what I would call moral. But I was talking about mass shootings.

@Litzz11

Mass shootings are noted in the article as the perfect example of Moral Decadence and they only occur in America as a daily event

This is what Republican voters wanted. More guns so they can feel safe. Not sure it's working.

@Litzz11 I agree. Lately they want cuts to entitlements. Austerity, removing money from the economy, causes recession not stimulation.

@Oldfartrant Because they don't know what an "entitlement" is; they hear the word and their racist ears think it means some uppity brown person thinking they're "entitled" to something they haven't worked for. That's how they think, trust me, I live in Tennessee and I hear this shit all the time.
