    Yes that’s very well written, and has many very good points. I can even understand the attraction of “the old values”, except the racism homophobia and religious fanaticism.
    If the more important old values are considered to be integrity honesty decency and tolerance, you get a completely different picture.

    Google David Letterman’s sex scandals. But it’s okay, because they’re on our side,

    No it’s OK because he never claimed to live by Christian standards, and there is nothing intrinsically immoral about it, and he is not an elected official I voted on because of his values.
    Trump on the other hand, is followed by people who claim Christian values, and Trump is by some even claimed to be the second coming of Christ.
    But in reality he is a narcissist the exact opposite of being humble as the Bible teaches. He has been married twice and commits adultery, he lies constantly, and probably commits at least one deadly sin per day according to the bible.
    The problem is the disconnect between the values these country folk claim to want to protect, and their actions that are actually directly contrary to that.
