I doubt that will ever be the case.
- moate 8y agoIt will be. We always move the goalposts of what "polite society" should look like. Trump got elected despite having his past (or because of?). People with visible tattoos are CEOs. Elon smoked weed on camera. You think that shit would have flown in the 1940s?
- ams6110 8y agoPoliticians have pretty much always been that way. The press ignored it/didn't report it back then. JFK and LBJ were flagrant womanizers.
- moate 8y agoExactly my point. OP was saying he doesn't think we'll be able to get past the mistakes someone made in the past. Culturally in the US, we do it all the time.
