Sir Donald, Mercenary
Liz Warren is the latest to jump on the Cynthia Nixon "Pence isn't a decent man" bandwagon.
I get this all the time - "You claim to be a Christian, how can you support someone like Donald Trump?"
Well, it's like this - we conservatives and Christians know what the Democrats would do to us if given the chance. We know that with them, we're always one wedding cake away from sensitivity training and reeducation camps. We've lost so much cultural and political influence that we can't always fight for ourselves because the fights aren't fair any more, they are always stacked against us from the outset. The media, the institutions and usually government (especially the judiciary) always gang up on us.
So we did what every weaker army has done in history.
We hired a mercenary.
Sure, Trump doesn't necessarily believe what we believe and he isn't our idea of a conservative - and he has an interesting past - but he came to us and offered to be our champion, someone who could and would put together an army to fight to the death to preserve our beliefs and to defend conservativism.
He would go to war under our flag.
Trump is our Sir John Hawkwood.
Besides having the coolest name straight out of a sword and sorcery novel, Hawkwood was an Englishman and a knight who served in the English army during the Hundred Years' War and commanded the White Company, the most elite mercenary army in all of 14th century Italy.
That's how we can support Trump.
He is not of us but he is for us.
