I am so deeply disheartened at the loss of moral and spiritual compass by Trumpublicans, many life-long friends and family members. I've long not been a practicing Christian, but I have always taken Jesus' words to heart (other than "I am the only son of God"—if indeed, he claimed that). But I find myself repeating these words attributed to him from the cross—it's the only way I avoid going into a rage:

Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.

I agree with you in part. The problem is that the politicians, the Bezos, the billionaires, the Murdochs, the Tuckers, the Hannitys, etc. know EXACTLY what his is. And the cowards are either kissing his . . . ring. Or simply looking away. It's becoming increasingly obvious that Trump has lost it, and, I suspect his handlers are giving him something to keep him semi-sane. But as the day wears on, he becomes more and more unhinged. I find myself praying for a black swan event in the next two days.

I wholeheartedly agree. Those who know better are NOT let off any hooks. I should have been more explicit about that.

I have relatives who were lifelong Republicans who oppose Trump because of their Christian values.

I have other devout Christian relatives whose political stance I don't know, and maybe I'd rather not.
