The death of President Jimmy Carter as well as his very touching funeral procession quite honestly feels like a funeral for the United States, democracy and overall human decency.

Truly. And it kinda stops my heart to think that the Orange Felon could consider this kind of heartfelt tribute and pomp something he'd kinda like for HIS sendoff.
It truly does. When u visit the Carter Center as I did this past Monday to pay last respects, u quickly realize how truly amazing he was! His good works around the world. I’m not sure that America will ever b seen again. 😔
A small part of me would like to think Obama is giving Trump a beating in the back room.
Obviously Obama has way to much class but he is thinking the same thing.
Definitely feeling that. Jimmy Carter was the first President I ever knew, and the hope for humanity he embodied has all but vanished in the political arena. It's a shameful loss.
As my 96 year old mother said yesterday, while watching the procession. "This will probably be the last time we ever see a President honored in this way."
The Felon shouldn't receive any honor, including lying in-state in the Capitol Rotunda that he set-up his MAGA minions to try to destroy -- along with democracy itself! 🤬
That last one implies I no longer have no decency of my own. But I can assure you that it persists as far as I am concerned. Will you let yours die cause of an asshole running the US?
The darkest moments of history do not define the totality of human experience. Hope is still alive. Hitler was defeated & all men are mortal. This too shall pass.
I couldn’t watch it because that’s EXACTLY what it feels like. A GREAT human going out when one of the worse in the history of humanity comes in is just too much.
It surely does, yes. It even goes beyond feeling, to the recognition that we are most likely done as a democracy. Given the trio of who will lead this country with complicity of GOP for 4 years with nothing but personal favor I try to look at it realistically. We in deep trouble here.
And Trump's Little Johnson just decreed that the flag over the Capitol will be at full staff for that vile 🍊 gasbag's Inauguration. On other words, he's saying 🖕 to Jimmy Carter's memory.
It's going to take a few of them or a couple accidents. People get sick and die it happens. Today as he sits with former Presidents shaking hands ect. Would be a convenient day he became sick.
It doesn't have to be, not would he want it to be. While the world lost a great champion of human rights with the passing of Jimmy Carter, we must resolve to carry on his legacy by working to defend democracy and freedom in our country and communities. Here's how:

Because it's true. Too true.
"We now bury the most ethical president of the 20th Century, Jimmy Carter.
Let us not also bury our democracy in the 21st Century."
He's probably wishing right now he could come back and fix it.
We lost a good one there.
Some of the "keepers" should have been thrown back.
One is about to swear in.

Decent human being and a great president
is all it would take to save
the entire 21st Century.
