Transparent

It’s so transparent to me. Almost daily he shows his ineptitude, his inability to grasp complicated issues, his misstatements and lies, his narcissism, his thugishness. Stories flood the news about his shady business dealings and his sexual proclivities from crude speech to infidelity to porn stars.
Yet evangelical Christians continue to support him. Conservatives are willing to give up their beliefs to follow him. Republican sycophants throw away their integrity to worship him.
Do all of these people really believe that following this man is the road to greatness?
I don’t get it. But I want to understand it. All over the world people turn those who disagree with them into satans. Nothing changes. Do we just assume that argument and dialogue can’t work, and we must just continue throwing spears?
