# I'm really angry
I'm angry. Not just a little angry, I'm furious. Angry enough that I want
to punch something. For context I am a Christian. There are times in my life

I'm angry. Not just a little angry, I'm furious. Angry enough that I want to
punch something. For context, I am a Christian. There are times in my life that
I would have been considered a conservative politically, at least in some
dimensions anyway. But I do not recognize evangelical conservatism today.
The recent events at the capitol are the perfect culmination of 4+ years of
Trump politics. But that isn't really the source of my anger. The source of my
anger is illustrated by the flags with Jesus on them at Capitol. I'm angry
with every prominent evangelical who aligned with and supported Trump. To
borrow some phrasing from Christ. "Depart from me I do not know you." In the
name of some policy wins you supported a fool. You made excuses for him. You
encouraged him. You praised him. You told the people that it was Okay to follow
Trump, _and they did_. They followed him as he bullied others. They followed
him as he ridiculed and belittled women. The followed him as he treated
veterans shamefully. They followed him as he called foreigners names. They
followed him as he lied. They followed him as he tried over and over to do more
than the powers of the President allows him to. They followed him as he
demonstrated incompetence over and over and over again. They followed him as he
downplayed the pandemic. They followed him as he falsely claimed success over
it. They followed him as he contributed to deaths of 300,000+ Americans.

As they followed him they got more and more angry. They believed more and more
lies. They were sucked into conspiracy theories. Families were ripped apart.
