Profiles In WTF

Holy Fucking Shit

November 19, 2022

Following up on yesterday's Profiles In Cowardice, we have more on Radical Christian freak Mike Pence. Pence, masquerading as a human being, offered up this ghoulish pile of Christo-fascist horseshit just before Halloween

You know, I said today here in Houston that the source of our nation's greatness has always been our faith in God, our freedom, and our vast natural resources. And the good news is, that after four years of the Trump-Pence administration, I'm confident that we have a pro-religious freedom majority on the Supreme Court of the United States. And I'm confident that come Election Day, November the 8th, you're gonna see that freedom majority around the country turn out and vote pro-freedom majorities in the House, and in the Senate, and in statehouses around the country. So stay tuned, Larry. Help is on the way.*

And by a “pro-religious freedom majority” of course, Pence means a pro-religious fascism majority, one that looks to smash the wall between church and state. Our “vast natural resources?” Does Pence mean the ones that are being raped, pillaged and irresponsibly wased away in service of robber-baron corporations hell-bent on robbing us all blind while destroying the only planet we have? Those natural resources?

Apparently, Evangelicals are less than thrilled with what they got by supporting Donald Trump’s hostile takeover of the White House in 2016 as well as his attempt to retain his ill-gotten office. Mike Evans, a religious figure who was among those met with Trump during his reign, recently shared his opinion during an interview with The Washington Post.

“He used us to win the White House. We had to close our mouths and eyes when he said things that horrified us. I cannot do that anymore.”

The fact that a religious person could a) for one moment support the likes of Donald Trump – one of the most irreligious politicians alive today – who showed exactly who he was at every turn, or b) for one moment pretend surprise at being used and conned by Donald Trump, defies credibility, among other things.

Actually, though Evans seems to not be aware of this, he and his fellow travelers did not in fact have to close their mouths and eyes. They could have stood up for their professed values, their religion and their Lord and Savior, who was know for precisely not closing either his eyes or his mouth in the face of people in power being horrifying. I’m just saying.

For his part, Donald Trump has moved on from Pence as a running mate in his Quixotic crusade to become the 47^th President of the United States. Trump announced, “Mike Pence is dead to me, or he should have been after the way he helped radical Democrats who stole the fraudulent, rigged 2020 election, which as everyone knows, I won.”
