When Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz called the GOP weird, it was the understatement of the year. The Republican Party has degenerated into a repository of freaks, flakes and frauds. The most common mask for Republican immorality is right-wing Christianity, which launders increasingly brazen lies and licentiousness. Under the banner of Trump, the GOP has shed its piety to shamelessly embrace its pathology.

Trump won the debate like he won the 2020 election. And he’s handling his debate loss the same way he handled his 2020 loss: by lying about it.

This November, the choice is clear.

“Oh, tell me sweet Jesus, I really want to know. Will there be gay people in heaven, and if there’s not, who in the hell wants to go?”
