"Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil, but as necessity." Simone Weil
Why is Trump so appealing to so many Americans who do not in any way share his behaviors or values? Is Trump evil or the harder question is his appeal a sign of evil. Consider January 6Th as example, it has to remind one of Hitler's rise to power and control of Germany. Hitler's hatred for for the Jewish people was motivated by his own shortcomings. A target, a foe, a group, is always required. Trump caged children but part of his appeal is the fact his judges overturned Roe. The unborn matter more than the born? Hatred is now directed at democrats, immigrants, gays, and trans, love for the unborn is an easy concern for it requires nothing unless control of others is your goal. Living breathing children at our border are not wanted and often hated and caged. Did the child lover complain then? No, for that is a reality - a moral dilemma - they place in another box and excuse. In a real sense immigrants have become the hated group in a land in which everyone is the child of immigrants, hate needs no reason.
Pastors embrace Trump's grievances in prayers at his rallies just as they did when Obama ran for office. But John McCain being a man of honor refused their support. Trump uses religion as Hitler and other so called religious do, as a stick without conscience. Is American democracy and it freedom in jeopardy should hate move enough Americans to forget their values and their morals? The answer is clear.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
