Trump won because he stepped into a moral vacuum. More precisely, he stepped into an ethical vacuum. And that vacuum is no where more evident than in the Religious Right which, after decades of failing to speak for and secure dignity and rights for minorities of color, was found to have committed even worse things in allowing and covering up the sexual abuse of its own children by its own pastors and church officers. And that abuse, and the cover up of that abuse, continues to the present moment. This blog is about that abuse, and the election of Donald Trump, in my opinion, is just one more piece of the fallout of the moral bankruptcy that has allowed such abuse to thrive in conservative churches.
And now the president who has refused to permit children harried by tyrants to find refuge in this country is dropping bombs on another country and pleading that it is for the sake of children.
Well said. Go read the whole thing.
