Long before he was President of the United States, Donald Trump was surely a compulsive liar and con man. And following his election, he has attracted the devotion of Americans who are unconcerned with truth; unfortunately, many of those devotees are Republican members of Congress.
One can understand why Evangelicals are drawn to Trump's rhetoric, ensconced as they are in religious mysticism (the most universal assault on truth); focused on issues that justify their belief system, they resent science and the "liberal press." So too is it easy to understand the support of industrialists who have benefitted from his tax cuts, climate-change "policy" and relentless assault on environmental regulations. Most disturbing is the support that Trump has received from seemingly intelligent and well educated politicians, who clearly understand the danger that he poses to our democracy, environment, security and alliances but are more concerned with their own re-election.
It has been said that truth will prevail in the long run. The question is: how much damage will be done in the meantime? However the Impeachment process may end, Americans must vote for truth in 2020, removing all of those who have failed to uphold it.
