I always considered Proverbs just about the most boring book in the Bible, and always wondered therefore why it was sometimes included in those free handed-out New Testaments (more often the Psalms are included, which is much more understandable).  And now, as though scales have dropped from my eyes, I see the reason: It's so right-wing Christians, of the sort who love to vote for GOP politicians, have at hand an arsenal of weaponizable biblical texts to shoot in the direction of people they despise. As DJT himself might say in closing: Sad.
