Update: Five-thirty-eight.com, (Thomson-DeVeaux), concludes, "Right now, however, even though some white evangelical leaders have condemned Trump and the family separation policy, there’s no evidence that their followers are poised to turn on the president." Of course not. Opposing Trump involves thought or empathy, two qualities missing in the deluded white Christianite fundamentalists.
Notes Thomson-DeVeaux: "A 2017 poll from the Public Religion Research Institute that found that white evangelical Protestants were the only religious group in which a majority (57 percent) said they’re bothered when they encounter immigrants who don’t speak English. They were also the likeliest to say that they have little or nothing in common with immigrants."

We have never had a strutting, malignant narcissist as president, not like this.
Trump is so lost in his solipsistic delusions that he gazed longingly, and narrating his walk across a stage, began fondling an American flag after a talk because Trump loves America so much he couldn't contain himself.
Fox News Insider reported the spectacle like this: "President Trump showed his love for America on Tuesday in a video that has now gone viral."
Trumpists — the bigoted, vile bunch of white Evangelicals and racists who actually support this goon — are as ethically indictable as Trump or Trump TV.
Whether it's Kiron, Iowa or Kenosha, Wisconsin, Trump supporters are enabling this regime of cruelty and bedlam.
Not even the spectacle of 1,000s of children and babies being snatched, caged and trafficked across the country is sufficient to break support among followers because cruelty is the point behind most of Trump's support.
Cut these idiots off. If they own a business: Boycott it. If they live in your neighborhood: Avoid them. Oppose them in any decent way you can conceive.
Farron Cousins of the Ring of Fire is not surprised by anything Trump or his followers do or say.

Trump's Followers as Are Repulsive as the Lunatic in the White House

Signing Tom Steyer's Petition to Impeach Trump Is One Step, an Important Step

'Spread the damn word'
Popular citizen action forced Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon from office.
Containing citizen action has been an objective of the two prominent political parties resulting in the steady degradation of working families to the spectacle of the 2016 election featuring a lunatic and the odious Hillary Clinton.
Meanwhile, the left-center bulk of the electorate has become so marginalized and confused, its support for President* Trump was partially composed of Trump as a perceived vanguard against black, brown and Muslim hoards who work with corporations against you somehow, (Mal Contends, McCrummen, Washington Post, Chris Hayes Show).
Each new generation comes of age learning to blame black, brown, immigrant, liberal, elite and the flavor of the month for whatever ails white people.
It is clear Trump, allies Scott Walker, Paul Ryan and the rest of the Republipukes with no exceptions are attempting a massive heist of the middle class to the corporate class.
Time to wake up, banana republics tend not to fare well.
One step, a thing to do, is to express popular sentiment to impeach Trump. One vehicle is to sign Tom Steyer's impeachment petition that has now drawn over 3,000,000 signatures.
Make opposing Republicans and Trump your civic duty in your community, in Alabama.
Tuesday is election day in Alabama. Protest this motherfucker where ever you are. Spread the damn word.— #TrumpPenceMustGo (@RefuseFascism) December 8, 2017
Get in the streets on Dec 12.
THIS NIGHTMARE MUST END.#NoMoore #nofascistusa #TrumpPenceMustGo https://t.co/jwrebJVmvD

Kiron and Kenosha—Dumb and Dumber
![]() |
| White and proud of it. Freedom ain't free. Jesus is watching. |
McCrummen paints a picture of people of this western Iowa town resembling a composite of Twilight Zone episodes, waking up to discover white supremacists reign in rural America, a psychopath has been elected to the presidency and a white-power party controls Congress.
Writes McCrummen:
Russell [Paulson] listened; he had known Walt [Miller]. At the age of 80, he knew almost everyone in Kiron, a town of 229 people, one of whom is U.S. Rep. Steve King, who has a house on the edge of town. Russell knew King, too, knew that he was the sort of person always stirring controversy, often by raging against what he called 'cultural suicide by demographic transformation.' More recently, King had said that 'we can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies,' a comment embraced by prominent white supremacists and widely condemned around the country as demonizing Latino and other non-European immigrants.
There was little controversy across King’s district, though, a swath of rural America made up of tiny towns with tiny, aging white populations that routinely elected King with more than 70 percent of the vote. In Kiron, people brushed it off as King being King, a man they all knew, expressing a plain truth they all understood: The white population was shrinking, and towns like theirs were vanishing, with the few exceptions being places such as Denison, a pork-processing town 20 minutes down the highway where population growth was being driven by immigrants from Mexico and Central America.
No, fretting about immigrants blocking restoration of civilization stirs little controversy in the Kirons of America.
Nor among the know-nothings in Kenosha, Kiron's cultural neighbor to the northeast.
Recall the Chris Hayes Show broadcast from Kenosha in December as Bernie Sanders patiently listened and took questions from confused Trump voters.
Reports Josh Feldaman in Mediaite from Dec. 2016:
During another part of the town hall, a Muslim woman spoke up about Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric about a Muslims and immigrants on the campaign trail.
The reaction from the Trump voters to the Muslim ban was to say 1) they don’t want that to happen and 2) it won’t happen because either Trump didn’t mean it or Congress would never allow something like that.
Oops.
American political culture is going to have to come to grips with the fact that the Kirons and Kenoshas are full of people for whom bigotry, racism and hate are not disqualifying in candidates for public office, and the impolitic fact that Trump voters are kind-of stupid.
Each new generation comes of age, learning to blame black, brown, immigrant and the flavor of the month for whatever ails white people.
Trump is due in Kenosha today.
No doubt he'll offer dialogue with the natives as edifying as the conversations at the Quik Mart in Kiron, Iowa: What happened to America? Black, browns and Muslims did it.
