I remember Erick's occasional lapses into pragmatism where Trump was concerned. From the reaction of many Resurgent commenters, you would have thought he was endorsing Satan. Some of the comments were so vicious I suspected they were coming from Susan using a false ID.
That's fine - I'm 100% content standing by my 2015 assessment that the fellow was Bad News and being vindicated multiple times. Saves me all the dizziness of having to rapidly oscillate between condemning him and then making excuses for him and then condemning him, ad nauseam.
Being pragmatic and granting someone the benefit of the doubt is NORMALLY laudable, but I draw the line at granting unlimited "mulligans" to a fellow who proved that he would literally try and burn the country down just to satisfy a deluded narcissistic complex.
When you spend your whole life pretending to be something you aren't people tend to call you out on it. Erick is a piece of trash, another garbage human who hides behind religion to hate people.
Ad hominem attacks are pretty weak. Learn the difference between “striving” and “pretending.” I could strive to be a writer or a runner and never achieve any notoriety in those fields. You could say I’m pretending but there’s no point in condemning the effort. I think you get the analogy here but won’t acknowledge it because of your deep distrust of Christians.
Erick isn't striving and anyone who reads his tweets will know this. People who are trying don't constantly tell lies in the name of politics. People who use the title christian to fool the idiots do.
Rightfully so. But you don't get to be pragmatic when you profess to have a divine agenda. I get you having no morals or standards, but Erick claimed to be better. He wasn't.
I actually thought Erick was at his best when he admitted he and Hillary had nothing in common - especially regarding the sanctity of life. He correctly thought Trump was crude and brash but there are worse things.
He was also an adulterer, a thief, and a liar. Funny how you always just ignore the serious stuff pretending that only his language was the issue. Which really says everything, you have to lie to yourself. That's just sad.

(I might have been helping Susan.)
I would have given you credit for respecting pragmatism. Too bad. Trump hate burns with the heat of a thousand suns.

I do not agree with your conclusion, but I do appreciate the logic in your attempt to explain being stubborn.
Think of it as me applying "Flight 93" reasoning to Trump. :-)
"Principled". It's pronounced "principled".

One of those I was talking about - self identified.

No criminal indictments for Trump. If truthfulness and fidelity determine a person's worth, most politicians would flunk. Many are also criminals.
