<\/iframe><\/p>\nI\u2019m posting this on Friday, so I assume by Monday, there will be more to add to the list.<\/p>\nHere\u2019s the deal: the trap the prolife Christian Trump supporter walked into on November 8 was the lie \u201cHe\u2019s the lesser evil and we will hold his feet to the fire once he wins.\u201d<\/p>\nHere is what you guy have consistently done since then: Defend every single crazy, evil, and stupid thing he has done by repeating the mantra \u201cHillary was worse.\u201d<\/p>\nHillary lost. Move on. Get over it. Live in the present moment and stop endless dwelling on November 8. Great. Fine. You voted for the lesser evil. That was your mistake. The Church does not and never has said, \u201cYou may support evil as long as it is the lesser evil.\u201d What the Church says is \u201cYou may do what you can to lessen <\/em>evil.\u201d<\/p>\nThe way you go about lessening evil now, here, this minute, in the sacrament of the present moment, is to address the evil, crazy, stupid things Trump is doing right now not by repeating endlessly, \u201cBut Hillary!\u201d, but by repudiating the evils he does (meaning nearly everything he is doing) and supporting the rare good things he does.<\/p>\nIt also includes doing the elementary moral calculus involved in realizing that this dangerous, lying, incompetent authoritarian needs to go\u2013fast\u2013before he does something catastrophic.<\/p>\nIf you are a Trump voter who is disquieted by the fact that every day delivers fresh crazy for you to have to justify with \u201cBut Hillary, then declare a little Jubilee. Forget the need to rationalize the fact that you voted for this guy. Let this blog be your Safe Space. I don\u2019t care why you voted for him. No doubt you felt you had good reasons. Granted. All \u201cBut Hillarys!\u201d are accepted. Let\u2019s now move on to the present and the fact that we have a problem: This utterly unworthy incompetent, liar, and con man is sucking up all your time and energy from defending either the unborn or the gospel with the constant need to deny, excuse, and defend his endless stream of sewage. Wouldn\u2019t really rather have done with him and the menace you know in your heart he poses the nation and the world?<\/p>\nThen just stop defending him. Face reality. He needs to go\u2013quickly. Join the Resistance. Tell the truth.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I\u2019m posting this on Friday, so I assume by Monday, there will be more to add to the list.
