Ridding Ourselves of Reprobates

 THE SURVEY divided American society into several groups, including: white evangelicals, black protestants, Hispanic Catholics, and non religious, among several others. The purpose was to measure societal attitudes towards the Covid 19 pandemic, according to ethnic and religious affiliation. The results were striking, and, probably predictable. white conservative evangelicals were the only group which did not list the pandemic among its top three concerns. All other groups placed it as number one, understandably. White evangelicals also placed little or no importance on public health protocols such as mask wearing and social distancing. They trust Trump more than anyone to deal with the pandemic, evidently because they do not consider it worthy of being dealt with.Only the evangelicals considered government restrictions on the size of worship services during a deadly pandemic to be unwarranted government intrusion into personal liberty and a violation of the freedom of religion, and totally unacceptable. Incidentally, only evangelicals failed to list either climate change or  extreme economic inequality among its top three concerns. Of all the people on Earth, white conservative evangelical Christian republican Trump supporting Americans are by far my least favorite. The results of this survey partly explain why. i consider them uniquely evil, unworthy of inclusion in civilized society, worthy only of utter contempt, exclusion, and destruction. I never hesitate to tell people this. I consider them primarily responsible for electing a traitorous criminal reprobate to the American presidency, and for most other social ills, of which the list is long. It includes racism, homophobia, religious intolerance, and unrestrained corporate capitalism, environmental destruction, and poverty. Majority Christian America likes to call the nation a "Christian country", and to claim credit for its virtues. Let them take a little credit for its failings as well. Simply substituting the word "progressive" for "conservative", or "tolerant of all religions" instead of "Christian evangelical" changes my attitude completely.The good news is that all statistical compilations indicate that this demographic, white, conservative, evangelical Christian Republicans, is declining rapidly  and numerically as a percentage of the American population. They are heavily concentrated among the baby boomers, who are dying off, and the millennials are not inclined to be religious, and are inclined to be progressive politically. There is hope for the future.
