Society's overall moral high ground is like a goalpost that constantly moves from one place to another throughout the years. Without it firmly rooted to the ground, many situations we typically considered wrong or unacceptable in the past may become tolerable today. Bill Stierle and Tom discuss the many possibilities of how such an ever-changing and evolving moral compass can shape – and divide – society and the nation, especially with political leaders actively contributing so much to these shifts. They further emphasize the challenges of this constant shifting by presenting the vast differences among how people approach and receive different public issues. Among the cases they present are the sexual allegations against Andrew Cuomo and Harvey Weinstein, Brian William's fabricated helicopter crash, and the flaws in President Trump's COVID-19 response.
