There are no longer any consequences for actions, be they lies, slander, or immoral character.
The party of "family values and personal responsibility" has swept any assemblage of duty to moral character under the rug. Insisting others live up to their Victorian standards of behavior, dominating any discussions of merit with lies and half truths, and blaming others for their own culpability for failed policies.
Accountability is entirely missing and the higher one is in national position or fame the less accountable they are.
Just could not put my thoughts in one sentence.
