We speak with moral philosopher Susan Neiman, author of the new book
"Call It Evil: Understanding the Trump Era".
Neiman argues that evil

— is a vital way to understand how injustice works in the world.
The Trump administration’s abusive policies have been aided by a general reluctance to call them out as evil,
part of how people are “brainwashed … by the idea that morality is for losers, suckers, f…

Nachdem wir jetzt sehen, welches Verhalten von Spahn dazu führt, daß die Union ihn loswerden will, und welches nicht (Maskendeals, geheime Treffen mit Thiel, dubiose Villenkäufe, …), können wir daraus durchaus Rückschlüsse auf die öffentlich vertretene Moral der Partei (und ihrer Wählys) ziehen – und das heißt: was als läßliche Sünde und was als wirklich schlimm gilt.

For Donald Trump, it’s always personal.
And he leaves this week feeling betrayed.
