Swift boating involves making false or misleading claims about an opponent’s record or character, often using selectively edited or out-of-context information. It is dishonest, personal, and unfair. However, among some Trump supporter’s dishonesty is no longer a major concern. They believe the ends justify the means. A recent example of this behavior is Mike Johnson, a man who says he lives his life by strict adherence to Biblical principles taking the day off from doing the people’s work for which he is paid by our taxes to come to New York to offer support for Trump.

What has happened to decency and honor? Have these concepts become obsolete only to be replaced with Christian values grounded in criminal antisocial behavior. Trump ( a convicted felon) can molest women, lie, and defame with impunity, but still maintain the respect of the various extremists with agendas such as anti-immigrant, xenophobic, nativist, and racists. Christian nationalism, evangelical Christians, anti-feminist, and anti-LGBT rally behind him hoping he will appoint judges, who find that laws invading a women’s right to privacy at a challenging time constitutional.
