Trump's Minneapolis Rally Was a Demonstration of the Moral Suicide Pact He's Made With His Supporters

They have given too much of themselves to The Leader to go back now. They will support him, no matter what he does, until he is stopped.

He said Joe Biden, the former Vice President of the United States, only got the job "because he understood how to kiss Barack Obama's ass." And what exactly was Proper Evangelical Good Boy Mike Pence doing while the president simulated orgasms on-stage last night? After all, he and Mother were standing there in the arena.

If Pence and/or his wife were Christians, one or both might be offended by Trump's in-their-face obscene vulgarity. But since they love money, not God, it is perfectly logical, unsurprising, and expected for them to go with the Trump toxic flow. It is important, as the author Jack Holmes did here, to consistently expose the morally bankrupt hypocrisy of Pence and all the other pseudo-Christian Trump supporters. Anyone that cannot see that morally bankrupt hypocrisy is willfully ignorant of the facts about who, and what, Pence and the pseudo-Chrisitian "evangelicals" are all about. 

This is a virulently racist tirade aimed at ginning up the worst instincts of the people in the crowd. It is not a coincidence Trump chose to come here, or to target a refugee community that is black and Muslim. This is how he thinks he can win reelection: by continuing to pull his base of support towards more vitriolic expressions of this vision of America as a country for and by white people; by scaring other constituencies away from speaking out; by using the Republican Party's machinations to stop inconvenient voters from voting; by smearing his opponents as Just As Bad As Him, They Just Pretend to Be Prim and Proper; by soliciting foreign meddling that will benefit him in exchange for favors when he is reelected.

All the while, he will drag his supporters deeper and deeper into the abyss. They cannot be reached now, only stopped.

True. The pretense of being Prim and Proper has always been a clever guise, nothing more. These people who doggedly support Trump, be they rich, poor or middle class, are the Mammon Worshipping Satanic Scum of the Earth.
