There's just no explaining Trump as far as I can tell. Just imagine a world where George W cheated on Laura with a porn star and his lawyer went to prison for paying her off. Imagine GW on the cover of Playboy or Laura nude on the cover of GQ magazine. The Bible he was sworn in on would have burst into flames. But somehow my extremely Christian mother looks at him and says "that's the voice of the moral majority." She's not even a passive supporter; she actually attended a rally.

I'm fine with a fair bit of nudity and I'm generally a sex-positive person, but I'm also not an evangelical trying wage a war against "degeneracy". I can respect someone who has consistent, sincerely held beliefs even if I disagree with them. But Trump is a shining example that many on the right simply don't have the courage of their convictions.
