We expect this from this administration—the mockery, enabling, and disregard for dignity. It’s predictable but no less frustrating or deeply saddening. Combined with the ongoing disregard for truth, it’s a stark reminder of how much integrity in leadership has eroded. America must demand better.

Why is this behavior so insufferable?
1️⃣ It normalizes cruelty—Laughter at mockery signals tacit approval, reinforcing a culture where disrespect is acceptable.
2️⃣ It distorts social norms—When public figures dismiss harmful rhetoric as humor, it shifts what is considered appropriate discourse.

At this point, we know to expect this from this administration. The mockery, the enabling, the complete disregard for dignity—it’s predictable. But that doesn’t make it any less frustrating or dangerous. America must demand better.
