Evangelical Trump Supporters: Hefner was sexually perverse

[Silver]

One of the grossest aspects of social media is that it turns every celebrity death into a springboard to blog about our own personal feelings.

Well, I usually try to stay away from that kind of thing, but today found myself sucked into one such discussion when I saw a very pro-Trump conservative Christian friend use the occasion of Hugh Hefner’s death to make a political point.

He was trying to highlight what he considers “leftist” hypocrisy, by accusing liberals of being mad at Donald Trump for being a womanizer while at the same time eulogizing Hefner for his progressive views on sex.

But from where I sat, it was conservatives — like said Facebooker — who were forcing the comparison. So I responded: Actually the “rightist” narrative I’m seeing everywhere is, “Hefner ruined our society with his terrible sexual ethics. Go Trump!”

The Facebooker responded, then his friends responded, and within a few minutes there were dozens of likes and responses from Trump supporters who thought it was the easiest thing in the world to defend Trump’s sexual history while excoriating Hefner for his.

I am so beyond confused with Christians who are screaming about how terrible Hugh Hefner’s sexual ethic was for society, and yet brought themselves to vote for and continue to support Trump.

There's that selective bias again.
