This president’s effect on our
cultural norms has been shocking. His critics would call it
appalling; evangelicals say it’s immensely satisfying: They’ve
seen a culture deteriorate quickly in the past decade, and they’re
looking for a bold culture warrior to fight for them. Showing that
God does indeed have a sense of humor, He gave them Mr. Trump.

In Donald Trump, Evangelicals Have Found Their President (Paywall)
With at last a
president who's God's plenipotentiary
we can repeal the
twentieth century
and return again
to the glory days
of a great
President Rutherford Hayes*.
Trump is soooo
sympathetic, generous, gentle
and,
dare I say so, a tad sentimental.
When
he sees no pretty women there
his
hands are invariably folded in prayer.
We
Evangelicals are in pursuit
of
anyone we can persecute
in
God's name, so we're not to blame
if
the Lord and us think just the same.
Our
God hates queers and same-sex marriage.
Our
God hates anyone we choose to disparage.
Our
God loves true Christian home schooling.
Our
God loves five-four conservative rulings.
Of
course, we'd prefer that Donald repent
but
even the Devil was heaven sent.
Sometimes,
you know, doing God's will,
you
just have to deal with a load of pig swill.

*Hayes' election was less than deft,
a blatant, outrageous, electoral theft.
He ended post-Civil War Reconstruction
pretend he was ending “corruption”.
He used U.S. Army to suppress railway
workers.
(The only way to treat striking
shirkers.)
