Explaining Rocket Science

 SOME BIG SHOT MINISTER from some mega church in Dallas - Rev. Jeffries, is it? -  reassured us with limited intellects that understanding why evangelical Christians overwhelmingly support Donald Trump is not, as he said "rocket science". comforting indeed, until one looks a bit deeper. Merely, so says the esteemed reverend, it is that Trump is a tireless crusader for religious freedom and protection of the unborn. Case close. But...wait. Neither of these attributes attributed to Trump is true, nor do they explain Christian support for Trump. The truth is indeed not rocket science, but is a bit more rocket sciencey than the reverend might like to disclose. Religions freedom in the United States is deeply entrenched, mandated by the constitution, widely practiced, unthreatened by anybody or anything. It is the threat of religious incursion in to the civic secular sphere which threatens our democracy, since the constitution prohibits it.Donald Trump is about as concerned with religious freedom, or religion, as he is with honesty; to wit, not at all. Donald Trump would willingly rip fetuses from their wombs were he to profit by so doing. The christian, were they honest and attentive to detail, would concur. But blind loyalty and obedience to a cult leader blinds one, if one is a member of said cult. Donald Trump is morally bankrupt, a criminal, and a traitor, verifiably. his followers know this, but are unconcerned about it. They support Trump because of his agenda, his complete agenda, which matches theirs. Evangelical Christians support and are devoted to the complete right wing agenda,social, economic,and political, hook, line, and sinker. They  love Trump for keeping rapists and murderers in Mexico, or at least trying to. Were they honest, and attentive to facts, they would accept the reality that rapists and murderers are much more common among native born Americans then Mexican immigrants. They love Trump for cutting taxes for the wealthy, for hating china, for hating LGBTQ people, for hating democratic socialism of the sort of which America runneth over, for preferring immigrants from , say, Norway, to those from "shit hole" countries of the sort they have in Africa, for his hatred of progressives - evangelical Christians buy the complete Trump package, not merely the pseudo religious parts of it. They use their self proclaimed moral superiority of loving unborn babies and heterosexuality to cover their hatred of a changing, diverse American culture in which ethnic equality rears its ugly, non traditional head. They, like Trump, want to make America "great, again" by turning back the clock to an era of white male patriarchy, marginalization and segregation of ethnic minorities, and strict cultural uniformity, rather than diversity. That they lack the courage or integrity to openly espouse their malignant agenda is telling, extremely.
