Values Voters
Oct. 20th, 2017 12:48 amWilliam Saletan has a hilarious and scathing piece in Slate about values voters sucking up to the spiteful buffoon in the White House. Selling their birthright for a mess of assurances that the Pussy Grabber in Chief is on their side in the supposed War Against Christmas is a phrase that comes to mind.
I do not mean to suggest that this description applies to all conservative Christians. Michael Gerson is a man with whom I have not always agreed, but his columns in the Washington Post have shown that he sees through Trump, and is not pleased with the values voters who seem to value access to the seat of power more than justice or mercy. Or even reliable sanity and a willingness to study the facts and make decisions on the basis of reality.
