Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Jeebus Voters

This is really interesting.  Basically it explains why Evangelicals can support a moral dumpster fire like Donald Trump.  It feels very "true."

What's interesting is the decline in White Evangelicals.  Some of that is actuarial.  They are older and older people die.  Some of it is cultural.  Younger people are just more tolerant of the Ghey and worried about climate change.  One factor to keep an eye on that the article can't foresee is whether Trump's Reverse Midas Touch will further destroy the ranks of Evangelicals.

Are you there God, it's me Margaret Donald?
