First in Flight

Scots-Irish evangelicals have problems owning their shit. Evangelicals, generally, but the Scots-Irish shaped evangelical culture. They flee owning their own sinfulness and imperfection. Acknowledging their racism and depravity. They compensate with self-righteousness and react with defensiveness. 

You can see why they love Trump. Impurity and the push for impunity. Get-out-of-hell-free. Trump maximizes damage and sinfulness. So he makes evangelicals feel good about themselves. And he's full of denial. And he's a bully. He asserts his guiltlessness. Evangelicals think their salvation is assured. 

They and Trump are already saved so it doesn't matter what they do. They are in a flight from reality. The reality of themselves. The same people were first in line for white flight. And North Carolinians tried to claim the Wright Brothers. But North Carolina is the state that gave you lung cancer, not aviation. 

The claims of being 'saved' and patriots and the real Americans are all of course lies. They lie about these because they're the opposite of what they claim. They're traitors and cowards. They wouldn't know Jesus if he came in over a border, walked up to them and claimed asylum. They're liars and awful people.
