Oh good, another New York Times article interviewing Trump-supporting white Evangelicals.
Allow me to translate their quotes.
“I am afraid of others who are different than I am”
Allow me to translate their quotes.
“I am afraid of others who are different than I am”
“I don’t want to expose my children to different values or more education. I know that the more education my children receive, the more likely they are to embrace liberal values and that scares me”
“I do not understand history, but I feel strongly about my opinions”
“I am afraid because my entire worldview, including my religion and politics, is based around fear"
"Also, I love freedom"
"Also, I love freedom"
“When others get freedoms that I’ve had for generations, that's not fair"
“I do not understand math”
“Also, even if I’m wrong (which I’m not) what about X? We all have problems!”
“Also, even if I’m wrong (which I’m not) what about X? We all have problems!”
“What? Racism? It hasn’t happened to me so it doesn’t exist”
There are easy quotes to poke holes in. You & I can find white Evangelicals justifying their twisted support of Trump everywhere
But their feelings are shared by many Americans who fear change, equality, & social progress
Progress will happen, with or without them. I welcome it
