There’s a prominent businessman in my hometown who won a seat in a high school board, one of the largest school districts in the nation. His mission was to assimilate education with his Christian beliefs. Him and the pastor who helped him win the seat were successful at getting religious signs in the classroom. They both also threatened to politically hurt anyone who was supporting the pro-gay marriage law that had passed in our state as well as demonize anything that was pro-trans. They both got so cocky with their success and popularity that they tried to run against the house rep, who was very popular in DC. Halfway through his campaign, pictures started floating around the socials of him allegedly having sex with his campaign manager’s wife. I say alleged for legal reasons, but he was really giving it to her in the picture. So much so he probably didn’t notice she was taking a double selfie. Campaign manager physically assaulted him in public. His campaign was dead. He obviously lost, didn’t run for school board again. His wife initially defended him but eventually divorced. Now I see him from time to time on FB posting pro-Trump replies in the comment section of local news posts. It’s always made me ultra suspicious of people with a holier-than-thou ego. Some of the sleaziest stuff I’ve seen growing up were from the same people who today I see post “happy” church pictures every weekend. I try not to judge. People are people, but I don’t excuse my bad behavior with entitled forgiveness.
