“Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”
― Barry Goldwater
President Trump seems to be proving Goldwater incorrect.
Funny. No one proved Goldwater correct more conclusively than does Trump. These "preachers" were always about white (male) supremacy dictating - without compromise - to everybody else. They found their Messiah in Trump, and they're cheerfully gloating at his compromising with no one at least half-ways sane, and at his sticking it to Those people every single day of the week. And that's why they are with HIM, come hell or high water.
I should have made that point more clear. I was trying to say the Christians were compromising by joining up with Trump. Goldwater said they would never compromise.
