Age and wisdom

Approximately 2,500 years ago Aesop said, “A man is known by the company he keeps” and the sentiment is still apt today and in fact is being used in the current election speeches by Kamala Harris.

By inference she is casting doubt on the people who would vote for Donald Trump, given that she has pointed to his convictions for rape and fraud. A much greater set of failings than her laugh.

Many of the Trump supporters are Fundamentalist Christians with strong beliefs which is a puzzling group of supporters given his misdemeanours that are well known. It would seem almost a rejection of their own beliefs if they tolerate his failings although a major premise of Christianity being forgiveness of any sin if they repent. Trump has not yet repented.
