Regarding the June 23 letter “Relativism Is Growing Norm Among Elites” by Stephen Sokol:

Mr. Sokol believes that today’s celebrities and entertainers are pushing our democracy to its tipping point. But they’re not causing it to happen; they’re reacting to it happening.

He is right in a way, though. A celebrity/​entertainer using vulgar stupidity, crass behavior and rejecting the responsibility of citizenship is tipping our democracy—and he resides in the White House.
