On How Evangelicals Can Support Trump, Both Libs AND Conservatives Get it Wrong

With both the Russia and Ukraine hoaxes having fizzled and the “legal” means for President Trump’s removal perhaps exhausted, at least for now, the Left appears to have moved on to a “moral” argument designed to influence the 2020 election. Initiated by Christianity Today and advanced by figures such as CNN’s Chris Cuomo, the idea is that Evangelicals — and by implication all Christians — should be ashamed to support Trump because he makes a “mockery” of their faith.

It’s an interesting argument not because it’s anything but a demagogic one, but because it relates to interesting issues completely eluding the very uninteresting people making the argument. Unfortunately, I’ve yet to hear them treated adequately.

Were I to apply my own purity test, I couldn’t vote for anyone, including myself. Characterizing myself, I shy away from ideological or party labels and rather say I’m sort of like Mayberry meets the Middle Ages. In fact, there’s a certain (half?) joke I sometimes make with those around me, who are very few in number, after returning from situations in which I encounter large groups of people. “I had to interact with the humans today,” I’ll say. Yet I can still vote for the humans — including the very human Donald Trump.
