OK, no worries, E, I understand where you are coming from.
Maybe you could look at it like this...
If you ever wanted to know if any of the "values voters" or the
"Christian right" ever actually had any morals or values we now have our
answer loud and clear...NOT AT ALL.
They would back anybody as long as the person they are backing
promotes a
hateful agenda that includes racism, being as cruel to the poor and needy
as possible, and that will treat women as second class citizens. This is
how Trump wins support and votes. It also helps that he promotes being
stupid and ignorant because this makes the stupid and ignorant "feel
better" about themselves.
He's their president.
So, just take any of the things Trump does and ask "What if Obama did
that?" and get ready to roll in the aisles laughing.
Right after the birth of his child with Melania, Trump begins an 11
month affair
with
a porn star and while running for president pays her $130,000 not to talk
about it...what if Obama did that?
What if Obama said he could "do anything to women, grab 'em by the
pussy."
What if Obama endorsed a known child molester and man who sexually
attacked young girls for the US Senate saying that a child molester
is better than a Republican?
What if Obama openly asked why we could not have more people from
Africa
immigrating to the US and asked "Why do we need more Irish or Germans?"
and then referred to countries where "white people come from" as "shit
holes?"
What if Obama refused to do anything but praise Putin, would not
enact
sanctions on Russia overwhelmingly approved by our House and Senate,
openly wanted to kill the Magnitsky Act (Putin's number one desire), and
his campaign had consulted the Russians for help to attack his political
opponents?
We'd never hear the end of it and impeachment proceedings would have
started against him immediately.
With Trump, his supporters just shrug and say "So what? He hates who
we
hate."
