Truly Good Human Beings Don't Support Rapists and Convicted Criminals

Pastor John Pavlovitz speaks some uncomfortable truths about the Americans who continue to support Donald Trump:

 

Link:  No, Good People Don't Still Support Him 

 

"No, he is not a good human being in any way that such things are objectively measured.

And good people don't align with this, no matter what story they tell themselves.

The criminality and immorality of this president are so far beyond the pale, so beneath contempt, and so blatantly racist that they should not have a single defender. He should be universally condemned. Humanity should be in agreement in abhorring him.

And yet today (like so many other seemingly rock bottom days in the past decade), there will be millions of professed good people and Christian people, who will make excuses for him or debate his motives or diminish the damage.

They will double down and pump their chests and fly their truck flags.

They will dig their heels in to explain away or to defend what, at the end of the day, is simply a bad human being saying and doing the things that bad human beings say and do because their hearts harbor very bad things.

No, good people don't spend their every waking day generating misery, stoking division, and causing suffering.

And good people don't defend people who do.

That’s just the truth, and we’re all going to have to reckon with it."

 

Our nation is reckoning with this sad truth right this very moment.

Sadly, the damage is done and if our democracy is lucky enough to survive this frightening period in our nation's history, it will take a generation to repair that damage.

That is Drumpf's legacy.  That is MAGA's legacy.  It is a legacy of betrayal  and failure, and one that will not be forgotten so easily.
