40. Typical RW Presidential Tactic

Thu Apr 2, 2026, 04:16 AM

Yesterday

This is a typical right-wing tactic.

Flouting one's religious faith before one runs for president.

Except Trump.

In the words of Bob Dylan's song Positively 4th Street:

"You had no faith to lose and you know it"

It's a little like that scene from Richard III when he is feigning religious devotion and is accompanied by two clerics.
Richard III's goal in the scene is to steal the crown from his nephew.

Press rarely challenges a candidate's avowed religious faith.
For example, why does Vance, a Catholic, not support universal healthcare like the Pope does?
