I swear maybe once a decade in public, and this is the moment. This fucking racist and all the gibbering racists nodding along behind him are the ruination of our country. Our fucking job for the next fucking year is to fucking destroy them in the next election. Fuck them.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

This is quite the essay on MAGA Christianity, an insider lament about things I’ve observed from the outside, and things I didn’t know about.
I’m not Christian, but I find some things admirable about Christianity, and think it’s a shame how the dominant form of US Christianity has inverted them.
