Trump's Supporters

I think I've figured out what's wrong with Trump's supporters. Somewhere in their upbringing they were never taught that "two wrongs don't make a right." It's a basic truth that most parents try to instill in their children. But, when asked about Trump's lies, his supporters often say that Washington DC is based on too many lies. In their minds then, that somehow justifies what Trump is doing. They see him as just playing the game.

Here's a good article exposing that actually motivates Trump's supporters.

The anti-abortion people also follow the idea that by killing abortion providers they are being pro-life. Nothing could be further from the truth. If they truly wanted to reduce the number of abortions, they would be supportive of birth control. And that is one of the services that Planned Parenthood provides.

So, let's be clear. Mom was right! It is a moral principle that two wrongs do not make a right.
