If someone had told me 10 years ago, US politics would fall apart because a spray tanned criminal, who swears, rapes, and engages in extramarital sex, would manage to convince religious voters, he was chosen by God…

… I would have thought they were insane.

@randahl If you lived around and interacted with the kind of people who support Trump you would not have been so incredulous. The people they follow quite often turn out to be quite corrupt, cynical, and amoral. Genuinely mean spirited and hypocritical--and the things they say... For them it really seems that Christ is not so much a teacher as a cudgel to bash people with--the people they perceive as "enemy" anyway. I've lived in this country for 50 years and it doesn't surprise me at all.
