The evangelical reversal on basic morality to align with an immoral president for power & privilege may thrill adherents for a moment, but this political hellscape will have an end - they all do - and the rest of us will remember who abandoned everything they ever held dear.

This, of course, is demonstrably false. Clinton didn't have Cabinet in place until March 11. George HW was March 17. Obama not till April 28 teapawt.net/realDonaldTrump/status…

I dream of a world where the truth is what shapes people's politics, rather than politics shaping what people think is true.
