ERICKSON: Pagan Politics In Post-Christian America

Erick Erickson

In 2016, I dissented. I said that, even though I had been an elected Republican, I could not support Donald Trump for president. I found him to be an amoral man and an unprincipled politician. I was and remain horrified by Christian voters who rally to the man as some sort of savior and twist their faith to suit their politics.

Protestors showed up at my home to threaten my family. Armed guards protected us for months. My children were repeatedly bullied at school. They were threatened at the grocery store by a man who yelled at them about me. For many, I was now just giving comfort to the enemy.
