Shame is a hindrance to a political prostitute. When you've sold out your principles, morals, and even your religious tenants for short term political gain, being reminded what an intellectually bankrupt piece of shit you are tends to wear on the nerves. Disputing reality and doubling down on the Koolaid seems to be the only way they deal with it.
Team Treason has a lot of karma in the mail.
Btw, great article at Atlantic regarding this...
Evangelicals confirm what America already knew about them...
"I know this firsthand, from pastors around the country who have talked about the catastrophic effects of the unholy alliance between evangelicals and Donald Trump. One pastor of a large church on the Pacific Coast told me: “There are many reasons why young people are turning away from the Church, but my observation is, Trump has vastly accelerated that trend. He’s put it into hyperdrive.”
This pastor, a lifelong Republican who declined to be quoted by name because of the position he occupies, wrote that “for decades Hollywood has portrayed conservative Christians as cruel, ignorant, greedy, and hypocritical. For 20 years I have worked, led, and sacrificed to put the lie to that stereotype, and have done so successfully here … Because of how we have served the least of the least, city officials, school officials, and many atheists have formed a respect for Jesus and his church. And I’m watching all that get washed away.”
He added, “Yes, Hollywood and the media created a decidedly unattractive stereotype of Christians. And Donald Trump fits it perfectly. Made it all seem true. And sadly, I now realize that stereotype is more true than I ever knew. It breaks my heart. In volleyball terms, Hollywood did the set, but Trump was the spike that drove the ball home. He’s everything I’ve been trying to say isn’t what the church is all about. But sadly, maybe it is.”
With all the horrible things this illegitimate disaster has inflicted on the country, I think his effect on the republican party and evangelical christianity are both things that will actually benefit the nation in the long run. Bottom line, we need fewer Americans to be suckered by the right wing fiction which proves detrimental to American ideals. This is a push in the right direction, thanks to Il Douche.
