Letting The Evil Die

I STOPPED WONDERING WHY I seem to have lost half my friends since the election; the great American divide impacts everyone. The internet is filling up with pro Trump and anti-Trump dating sites, so, I'm not alone. I am also perfectly willing, ready, and able to forgive, forget, and reunite with my right wing ex friends, since I see no reason to remain angry at people who are so obviously in big, big trouble, bigly. Trump, Trumpism, and especially that horrid God awful extreme right wing Christian conservatism, a disease which currently afflicts the culture, is destined to go the way of the Edsel and the 8 track. You call only call yourself a Christian and support banning Islamic immigration so long, and you can only call yourself a Christian and embrace neo-liberal economics to a point. When it comes to paying taxes and redistributing wealth from the rich to the poor, Jesus was hard core. big government wasn't an issue with Jesus; but concentration of wealth was. Many scholars have speculated that the Nazarene was actually a revolutionary urging rebellion against Rome; others see him as having accepted the inevitability of earthy human tyranny in one form or another and thus having taught followers to think more in terms of heavenly authority. But the one thing Jesus preached was sharing, by whatever means available, including government. No matter who sits on the Supreme court, it shouldn't matter to progressives, because the court will, at the end of teh day, issue progressive rulings when such ruling are needed. John Roberts, after all, voted for gay marriage. Progressives need not concern themselves too much with the downfall of Trump, his ideas, and the extreme right wing in American politics; it will all collapse beneath the weight of its won insanity.
