    He could get in front of a congregation and start rambling about how Satan is a nice guy and “people say hell is beautiful” and whatever and they would cheer lol.

    I remember when I was a teenager, and the Republicans were impeaching Clinton for a bj. My parents explained to me that, while what he did was not illegal, it went to show the strength of his character. And, who would want a man like that in office.

    Can anyone guess who they voted for in the last two elections?

    You mean to tell me that evangelicals, a group best known for their fanatical and unwavering devotion to wealthy, narcissistic, morally bankrupt conmen — a group which blindly and eagerly denounces throughly explored proven facts and truths in order to justify a reality which these despicable leaders so desperately need them to believe to keep the donations flowing in… Love Trump? Of all people?

    My god, this might just be the story of the century

      Just like the bible says they will be before they go to hell in the end times. It’s pretty funny how on the nose some of their “predictions” are they just mix up the groups.

      Newsflash: grifters like grifters because grifting is a con-job they understand and agree with.

    The Seven Deadly Sins:

    Anger, vanity, envy, gluttony, avarice, lust and sloth.

    Trump exhibits all of these.

    And they love him.

    Many “Christians” are illiterate and have not read the bible.

    And the beast was given a mouth, uttering haughty and blasphemous words , and it was allowed to exercise authority for 42 months …

    Revelation 13:5-8

      Right. Find any person or group to blame for your own incompetence and then focus all of your hate on them.

        Right. Find any person or group to blame for your own incompetence and then focus all of your hate on them.

        It’s not just incompetence. Capitalism is a brutal system. It was going great for average Americans post-WWII because half of Europe was destroyed and America was virtually untouched. Those were boom times.

        Now, when the lie of the American Dream has been exposed, many competent people are struggling. The ones pilled hardest on the idea that America is “special” and “could do no wrong” also struggle to comprehend how this could happen to them. They’re incapable of recognizing that the winners are keeping them down by feeding them culture-war bullshit to stop us from building class solidarity and fighting back. It’s a very effective grift.

        Trump knows the grift. He’s a master at it. He has people who are in financial precarity sending donations to someone who by all appearances shouldn’t need their hard earned money. (Whether his wealth actually matches what he purports it to be is irrelevant here.)

    They’ve been practicing their whole life in believing in the impossible, they’re basically Olympic Mental Gymnasts at this point, nothing Trump can do will ever shake their faith.

    This is all his supporters. The fact that so many of them believe the COVID vaccines are bio weapons killing everyone who has died of a heart attack in the last few years, but they still support the guy who supported their creation under his administration should tell the tale.

    It’s almost like if you tell a bunch of delusional, disenfranchised people exactly what they want to hear for four+ years they tend to not see any faults in what you say or do.

    Ironically, Christians always complain about the hate they are getting from “the world.”

    In reality, Christians just need to get out of bed with the Republican Party. Most people don’t hate Christians or any other religious group for that matter, but many people hate the Republican Party. With evangelicals being in something of a symbiotic relationship with the Republican Party, they are hated by proxy.
