Take This, Brother, May It Serve You Well

Holy Shit!

While it is tempting to consider Donald Trump certifiably insane, I fear that such a diagnosis overlooks the fact that he is a mirror image of many Americans today: narcissistic, immature, and self-deluded. It’s no wonder that he was elected President. He doesn't represent all of the American people by any means, but he does represent a substantial percentage of them.

Think about this statistic: 81% of white evangelicals voted for Trump last November.

Talk about lost sheep...
