| Via a tweet, conservative evangelical leader Ralph Reed tells why the religious right will continue to support Trump no matter what he does. |
Let's be honest.
Conservative evangelical and the religious right leaders don't care about Trump's botched response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nor do they care about how he continues muck up efforts to contain the pandemic. They don't care about the over three million people infected nor do they care about the over 133,000 who have died. And they certainly don't care about Trump attempting to force schools to reopen.
Just like they haven't cared about anything else Trump has done over the past three years (lying, bullying, kissing up to Putin, etc etc) which are supposed to be against their constantly and exhaustingly trumpeted Christian morals and values.
The reason is so simple that people tend to take it for granted. But I will let conservative evangelical leader Ralph Reed (funny how hardly anyone talks about his role in the Jack Abramoff scandal of 2006) tell you all you need to know via a recent tweet he sent.
Here's a hint. It's about a recent Supreme Court decision:
If you feel the need, you can find information about the decision here.
The point of this post, however, is about priorities. We're in waist deep in the middle of a pandemic with hardly an end in sight. And the bad leadership of Trump is a prime reason why we're here. But conservative evangelical leaders don't care because they are more concerned with placing conservative justices on America's courts.
Apparently rigging cases is more important to them than the health of Americans. After all, that's what Jesus would do. All of those verses in the Bible about Jesus healing the sick and speaking to the downtrodden, the stuff which makes you think that Jesus would be more concerned with those afflicted with the coronavirus than court officials, is a bunch of liberal mumbo-jumbo.
In reality, Jesus would be with Reed and company because manipulating the courts to rule in the favor of conservative evangelicals is the true pathway to the kingdom of Heaven.
Right?

Jesus' words be damned. The conservative justices will not give a damn about the poor, the sick, the widows, the lepers, the imprisoned; they will just be concerned with limiting abortion rights, keeping women "in their place," outlawing same-sex marriage; eliminating discrimination protections for LGBTQs, making trans folks invisible and insuring white privilege. And if they help make republicans and evangelicals wealthy in the process, all the better. I am so sick of their hypocrisy. And sad to say, Catholics are more and more in that club.
