Trump and Evangelicals
Thomas Allen
Below is a letter to the editor that I wrote in response to another published letter on Trump and evangelicals. This person, whom I refer to as Mr. S, has written several letters criticizing Trump and evangelicals. Mr. S suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Also, he loathes evangelicals as much as he loathes Trump — perhaps, even more. Some of my comments in brackets provide additional context for my response.
The Letter
Mr. S’s letter displays more prejudice toward evangelicals than evangelicals show toward brown people. Moreover, his letter speaks of love, yet it shows more hatred toward evangelicals and Trump than either shows toward brown people and foreigners.
If Trump ceases being a Zionist, he will lose the support of most evangelicals. Supporting Israel and Zionism is of the utmost importance to them. [Mr. S is convinced that both Trump and evangelicals hate brown people, and the primary reason that evangelicals support Trump is because he hates brown people. Much of his lengthy letter is filled with derogatory remarks about evangelicals.]
Unlike the justice that Biden appointed to the Supreme Court, who does not know the difference between a man and a woman, at least Trump’s appointments do. [Mr. S faults Trump’s Supreme Court appointments.]
Moreover, Obama and Biden were much more fascistic than Trump has been. [Like all good Democrats and left-wingers, Mr. S declares Trump to be a fascist. I would be surprised if he really knew what a fascist is.]
If Trump is trying to eliminate political opposition, he is just following Biden and other Democratic leaders. They came close to succeeding. By calling for the arrest of Democrats, Trump is just following Biden and the Democrats. They arrested and tried Trump and imprisoned many of his supporters. Moreover, Biden and the Democrats crushed the freedom of speech of their opposition.
All these Democrats yapping about Trump deporting illegals never remonstrated when Clinton and Obama were deporting illegals. Apparently, they do not object to deporting illegals; they only object to who is doing it.
When it comes to following the Constitution, Trump is in good company. No president since Coolidge has even attempted to follow the Constitution. Based on their actions, most have less understanding of the Constitution than the typical kindergartner. [Mr. S criticizes Trump for failing to follow the Constitution; however, I have never seen him criticize a Democrat for failing to follow it.]
All the Constitutional safeguards that Mr. S refers to ceased to exist with the Lincoln administration. As for the rule of law, it means no resistance to the Democratic Party's agenda under Obama, Biden, and whoever is the next Democratic president. The rule of law is whatever their arbitrary whim dictates. [Mr. S accuses Trump of abandoning the rule of law.]
In short, almost everything that Trump has done since he has been in office, Democrats have done before.
Nearly all of the founding fathers despised democracy and believed that it was one of the worst forms of government. H.L. Mencken wrote, "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."
