Opinion It wasn't always this way [View all]
As I watched the current president of the United States struggle to pronounce the name of the drug he was blaming, without evidence, for causing autism and then later proclaim that autism doesn’t exist within the Amish community, a rather troubling thought struck me.
A bunch of kids think this is normal.
Donald Trump has been—as mind bending as it might seem—the face of the Republican Party now for a decade. His crass, unpolished, bumbling, ignorant, antagonistic, insulting, ill-informed style of rambling in front of a microphone has now been with us for more than 10 years. And a generation of kids now think this is normal.
Our youngest voters—those turning 18 in time for the 2026 midterm elections—have been listening to Trump’s schtick since they were 8 or younger. They’ve grown up through their most formative years listening to the president of the United States call people silly names, lie with abandon and speak like an imbecile.
