In Sociology class I learned a few things.

One thing that really stuck with me was the notion that you can't change the class you were born into. You might make enough money to raise yourself into a certain class, but you won't ever truly be one of them.

Kind of like how you might learn a foreign language, but that doesn't make you part of their culture.

Subs doesn't even have the written English language skills expected of a young lower class native speaker.

Possibly, but I think I caught the gist of it with "smart like ground sloth".

To the many evangelicals who continue to support Mr. Trump in spite of his blackened moral record, we might say this: Remember who you are and whom you serve. Consider how your justification of Mr. Trump influences your witness to your Lord and Savior. Consider what an unbelieving world will say if you continue to brush off Mr. Trump’s immoral words and behavior in the cause of political expediency. If we don’t reverse course now, will anyone take anything we say about justice and righteousness with any seriousness for decades to come? Can we say with a straight face that abortion is a great evil that cannot be tolerated and, with the same straight face, say that the bent and broken character of our nation’s leader doesn’t really matter in the end?

Yeah, you've already lost any credibility you had. This is asking to close the barn door after the horses have left.

Christianity Today made a moral case that Trump needs to go. He responded by proving its point.
In response to an editorial detailing his moral failings, Trump lashed out in a way that highlighted them.

President Donald Trump’s response to Christianity Today’s moral argument for his removal from office illustrated the very reason the prominent evangelical publication concluded he has to go in the first place.

The morning after the Christian magazine published an editorial written by editor-in-chief Mark Galli, titled “Trump Should Be Removed from Office,” Trump hit back with tweets that didn’t try to rebut Galli’s reasoning, but instead offered smears and explicitly transactional self-defenses.

Trump began by falsely describing Christianity Today, which has a mainstream audience, as “far left” and “very ‘progressive.’” (Although it’s true the publication has been critical of Trump for years, that’s very different from being far left.) He claimed, without evidence, that the magazine “has been doing poorly.” He took gratuitous shots at the Democratic presidential candidates, comparing their faith unfavorably with his own — and ignoring the fact that if the Senate removes him from office, Vice President Mike Pence, not a Democrat, will take his place.

I am unsure your blame put on Christianity Today is fair. Surveys keep finding horrifying percentages of Evangelicals who love Trump. Evangelical is not a unified anything however. I would consider myself evangelical but consider the leaders closest to Trump to be too close to being heretics. I do not think the magazine is the sort which has been sold out to Trump. Brackite linked article shows a number of comments indicating that it has been in the never Trump point of view.

you taking a sociology class says even more...but you using it as a feeble appeal to authority says less.

Subgenius is there any part of your brain that has empathy for anyone. I suppose you will jump for joy at this news https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/08 ... JaWyin_v2I

You have such an obsession with the left you would find policies promoted here in Australia by right of center politics as socialism.
