As an addition to my last post, let me just ask those who continue to support Trump some questions:
If Trump committed adultery with your wife, would you still support him? if he groped your daughter? if he snuck in to see you teenage daughter changing while in a beauty contest? if he made fun of your wife by calling her “ugly”? or demeaning a close relative who may have physical handicaps? or bullying your son through name-calling? by assuming guilt of a close friend when he yells “Lock her up!”? by bragging about his penis size in front of your family? Etc.?
Or is this OK as long as it’s not your daughter, or your son, or your wife, or your friend-- just someone else’s? Is that really what Jesus taught in your opinion? (I’m using “your” in a generic manner, so please don’t assume that I’m referring to anyone in particular here).
Gandhi said “To cooperate with evil is evil”, and justifying Trump’s many actions and words that violate the most basic Christian teachings is nothing short of “evil”, imo. To not try and hold people, including ourselves, accountable for sins that hurt others is “evil”.
