Putting One's Bumper At Risk

WHEN MY "Unfit To Serve:Impeach Trump" bumper sticker arrived in the snail mail, my reluctance to duly affix it stemmed from my fear that the impeachment might occur before said affixation, rendering it instantly obsolete. I decided to take a chance, and affix. That was several months ago. Got it on just in time. The wheels of justice turn slowly, but, at length, they turn. To date, my car has not been vandalized, nor my property destroy, by any of the ultra conservative christian supporters of Trump who live in the small town where I precariously perch. I decided to park my car near the front entrance of my place of employment, as an experiment. The only effect I noticed was the emergence of a pattern wherein the evangelical conservatives, and the apocalyptic Pentecostals, began consistently rendering unto me contemptuous sideways glances. The Christian community overwhelmingly supports Trump. there is no reason for them to worry about climate change; by the time the planet becomes uninhabitable, they have long since been raptured into heaven, or wherever. A few prayers and a simple act of forgiveness and all moral considerations are reconciled, allowing a self proclaimed sexual predator to become president. The Republican party is the white christian party. the democratic party is the party of educated white people, and minorities. To the democrats, poor policy and a persistent pattern of highly questionable behavior trumps redemption. Redeem, but don't elect. Thirty percent of evangelical Christians believed in giving forgiveness to the president for his sins when Obama was in office. With Trump, the number is seventy two percent. The evangelical community is either becoming much more forgiving, or the president is becoming more conservative, and less African-American.
