Dobson was instrumental in the right wing hijacking of religion. He would preach a little while, and then praise the current right wing politician for a while. Soon, you couldn't tell one from the other.
‘Dobson used his influence and his following to promote Republican party politics. That this was the main point of Focus on the Family is difficult to challenge, given the amount of time and money that this pseudo-Christian ministry spent on supporting Republican party candidates for office on some nebulous "family values" platform. When it came to "family values," many of the candidates Dobson supported, and used his influence to help his own cause were hypocrites, since their behavior was anything but consistent with any kind of definition of "family values," especially not the high moral standards of Christian faith and practice.
It is support for Trump that exposes the hypocrisy of Dobson, and of everyone who tried to associate the GOP with "family values." Trump's moral bankruptcy is shocking even to a completely secular worldview. The total lack of a conscience, and the open rejection of basic Christian theology, especially with regard to the Christian conversion experience, which Trump vehemently denies as being necessary to his own faith, should be appalling to serious Christians. Supporting Trump and his politics is mutually exclusive of true Christian faith and practice. It is not possible to be both Christian and MAGA.’
And that certainly defines the ministry, and the legacy of James Dobson.

The Godless left has absolutely no clue what Christianity is about. They falsely believe it's about tolerating any and all sin and being accepted no matter what one does or believes. It's not possible to explain the truth to them because there is no truth in them and they are incapable of understanding.
