The significant thing to keep in mind about President Biden's speech yesterday is that he referred to the commitment to democracy of our founders as the sacred cause that we share to this day. He reminded us that the violent, unlawful events of January 6, 2021, were the result of selfishness.
It wasn't about patriotism, but the cult of personality that surrounds one man: Donald Trump. The United States of America, the great experiment of democracy, the rejection of rule by kings and tyrants could all just be casually tossed aside by people who did not care about the Constitution, our institutions, our history.
They cared about Trump, and he only cares about himself.
The founding mission to form a more perfect union is our "sacred cause".
And on that same day, yesterday, the adjudicated rapist and fraud posted an ad on his failing Truth Social telling us he was basically God's gift to America. Because in Trump's mind, the sacred cause is himself.
This tracks the messaging that comes from his rally stages from pastors - that God has chosen Trump to battle the Deep State. This is also a ripoff of the ad Casey Desantis made for Ron’s reelection campaign. This also says Trump goes to church on Sundays when he never goes. pic.twitter.com/OFcBsk5w3W

I've written so much about Trump's appeal to evangelicals as God's chosen, and the blasphemy of it still shocks even little old agnostic me.
The choice could not have been made more clear.
