"Chosen by God"

Frank Schaeffer, the author of Why I'm an Atheist Who Believes in God, doesn't mince words: Donald Trump is a "moronic monster" who's posturing as "chosen by God" to curry favor with the  ultra-conservatives of the religious right.

The "religious right" guys  popped up in the Seventies, married Fox News, and bowed to Donald Trump in 2016.  If you have ever held your nose and listened to even a couple of minutes of their religious programming,  you know that they follow and genuflect to any man who claims to  oppose abortion. If a politician waves a pro-life flag, he (always a he in their party) can get by with anything.  As a logical fallacy, this one is called a red herring, and they've been using it for decades.

Even if their candidate brags about his right to women's decisions and bodies (grabbing "pussy" in the words of Trump);

Even if their president bullies, ridicules people, and locks up children at the border;

Even if he is too self-absorbed and unintelligent to answer real questions from journalists ("That was a nasty question and you are a bad bad journalist");

Even if their president delays and denies help ("dangles ventilators") to doctors whose governor ("that woman") doesn't like him; 

Even if he manages national emergencies based on his random and stupid opinions and fires real medical experts from the Obama administration who could have been in charge during this pandemic;

Even if he lies with impunity over and over every day---

Well, none of that matters to those who are laser-focused on one single issue.

And yet Trump--who knows nothing and believes nothing (except that he himself is a very stable genius) is allowed to ramble on and on and on, ad nauseam, and spout opinions and policies that will (and already have) cost lives.

I'm  listening to Dr. Fauci and Andrew Cuomo for facts, intelligence and leadership.  We have two deadly viruses in the air right now--the coronavirus and the virus of complete incompetence at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
