Religion revisited

Who better than Donald J. Trump to lead the Christian Revivalist sector of the MAGA movement bent on religionating our government? Who better to infuse our government with a sense of Christian values and morality than the man who refused to put his hand on the Bible when being sworn into office as president, taking an oath to defend our Constitution, an oath he breaks daily? Who better to espouse the Christian ethics of tolerance, acceptance and nonretributive actions? Who better to carry the unfurled banner of Love Thy Neighbor than the man who unleashed ICE and CBP agents on men, women and children, and was OK with the murders of people he has an obligation to protect?

Makes perfect sense to me only if someone could explain the double standard here. Get the guy who is mentioned countless times in the Epstein files, get him to be your moral standard-bearer.

Anybody catch a whiff of hypocrisy here? Where in the Bible does it say, “Blessed are the chaos creators, for they shall make righteousness profane”? Must say it somewhere, because that is what the Religious Right embraces and exalts through Trump.

The concerns and observations raised here are based on the idea that there still are rational ways of dealing what is happening to our country. What is happening and what is being promulgated is not rational and never will be. And travesties are travesties no matter how many divine necklaces people hang on them as camouflage.
