You can read the full article here. Here are some snippets on key points:
Before November 5th, for example, many of us were under the impression human kindness was a quality that defined our society. Indeed, the idea we should care deeply about the plight of our neighbors was something many thought was synonymous with being an American...Perhaps if Trump had been around when I was younger, he could have let my mother know it was OK to denigrate and disparage those who are different. In a similar vein, Trump should also be commended for reminding us that racism, xenophobia, and misogyny are alive and well in many households and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream that one day we will judge people primarily by the content of their character remains an elusive aspiration...Apparently, a lot of Christians are completely fine with all kinds of boorish behavior. In my 8th grade Social Studies class, Mr. Sparks taught us all Americans are equal before the law.
You’ve probably heard that rumor, too. But as Trump demonstrated conclusively, some Americans can break the law repeatedly - committing crimes that would land most of us behind bars - and
suffer no consequences. And furthermore, having a criminal record is now something many Americans celebrate and even cheer. Kudos to Trump.

This is a terrific, but sad great read. Quite frankly, I cannot disagree with a single word he wrote. Do you guys think human decency is dead?
 

Western Kentucky Professor: Trump's victory signals that human decency is no longer an American virtue​

Well, DUH!!!

We sane, rational, intelligent, and politically astute folk knew that the first time Trump got elected, Professor.

He was a little slow on the uptake.

LOL. He must have been born about 5 minutes before he wrote that article.

I only did snippets, but it is pretty clear he grew up in a southern Christian household, which preached about manners and respect. Trump 2nd's win gave him a dose of reality.

Quite possibly 5 minutes after the first Trump administration.

Not to this extreme though. Americans voted for a convicted felon, a man found liable for sexual assault, and committing massive bank and property fraud, and went on television and slandered Haitian immigrants who committed no crime.

My view is that Trump won because people thought Biden made their lives worse off. Elections trend to be about the performance of the White House party.

They thought wrong.
The media was complicit in that, "if it bleeds, it leads".

They gotta place that anger they feel on somebody......come on man! If a president elected by the people has you thinking human kindness is no longer in American society, quite possibly the problem lies within. Why is it always somebody else's fault, especially Trump's fault, lol.....the professor is just following der leaders example.

Where was the good professor when Biden was pinching the nipple of an 8 year old girl?
 
If your concept or exercise of human decency depends on the outcome of a political process, you probably have bigger problems you should be addressing.

That is absurd. Few things are better for determining the morality of a population than a democratic process. Maybe commerce or popular culture consumption.

Elevating elected officials to the level of hero or role model generally ends up badly. Find better role models. All the election of Trump proved was what a horrible candidate Harris was.

Of course "human decency" is NOT dead.

<SARC>Of course, "Those People" (with their "Bad Genes") aren't really "human" and anyone who doesn't support Mr Trump blindly probably had "Bad Genes" as well.</SARC>
