Charles Pierce reprises a familiar theme hereabouts.
It’s easy to back a guy [Trump] whose demonstrations of faith and devotion to the Bible are so obviously contrived when you don’t actually care about any of that. That’s also how you back slashing taxes on the rich and deporting 11 million people, in many cases tearing parents away from their children. (You know, the kind of stuff Jesus got behind.) Trump appeals to Evangelicals across the country not as a man of God, but as someone who will restore the old order of things. And that’s what they’ve always been looking for.
