The Christian Right: Look, We Are In No Place to Judge

What is the current moral state of the country? Well, 78% of Evangelicals support President Trump. How can they support a man who is a flagrant racist, mysogonist, blatantly hateful individual like this man?

No doubt about it, some of the stuff that comes out of this guy's mouth is cringeworthy. That and the three marriages, numerous accusations of sexual misconduct, accusation of affairs...

For the Christian right, as they look over this preposterous list of presidential candidates, it might start to make their head spin. "We could vote for Trump, the mysoginist, or we could vote for Hillary... Put our national security at risk with the email scandal, Benghazi, married to the adulterer Bill Clinton, proudly supports the brutal murder of defenseless little babies no questions asked, at expense to the tax payer..."

Proudly supports the brutal murder of defenseless babies...

Proudly supports the brutal murder of defenseless babies...

"That's a selling point, too. That's one of the MAIN REASONS she has so much support! In fact, that's the sole reason a lot of people support her..."

"Well, you know... Neither of these candidates is completely IDEAL to say the least... But at least the other candidate, Donald Trump, came out AGAINST the murdering of the innocent babies..."

Of course, if the liberals were in the room for this conversation... They'd be up in arms! "No... We don't know if they are ALIVE or not yet... We abort them before they are born, it saves them from a lifetime of misery being an unwanted child... Plus, we are overpopulated as it is, we don't need a whole bunch of unloved children coming into this world, ruining the lives of their parents..."

"So, that is a decision that's made for them? What if I looked at you and thought, hey, you probably don't want to continue living so I am just going to murder you right now in an inhumane fashion... Without even asking you?"

"Put yourself in the shoes of the mother... Got pregnant, COULD BE DUE TO RAPE... No money to raise a kid, would completely ruin her life..."

Meanwhile, everyone in the conservative household is staring and blinking in disbelief. Are we hearing this correctly?

"What about adoption?"

"There aren't enough adopted families... The last thing we need is another kid separated from their parents at birth... It's heart-breaking to think about putting up our child for adoption and raised by strangers who might not love the kid..."

Meanwhile, all members of the conservative household are still staring and blinking in disbelief.

"Wait a second, wait a second... You are getting the child aborted because you LOVE him or her?"

"Of course we do... Look, we don't know if an abortion is traumatizing on the fetus... So we made a loud declaration over a megaphone that it is painless and harmless, and that makes it true!"

Wait a second, that wasn't exactly what the liberal said... However, they said something that sounded EXACTLY like that to the conservative family. So much so, I just wrote what the conservative family heard.

The liberal leaves, and the conservatives are shuddering in disbelief, disgust, and rage.

"Okay, let's not only vote for Trump... Let's campaign for Trump, encourage all our friends to vote for Trump... And so on."

"Agreed."
