I used to think that religious Trump supporters were also the ones who believe in funding a pastor's private jets. But my take: a lot of religious MAGA just want someone to validate whatever racist stupid ass thoughts come to their mind. May it be politician, pastor or a fucking podcaster.

Religion is just another mechanism.

Obligatory fuck Liberty University. Absolute sham of a college and blight on Virginia.

Religion should never be part of the political debate.

Oh! So this is why the Dems are throwing trans people under the bus, to attract the clergy. We have to run some better people. The answer to Christian fascism, is not more Christianity.

Because fucking Bush was? Give me a fucking break. Their guys are, if elected, going to be Republicans in all but name and the establishment is going to prop them up anyway.

Umm, I kinda understand but still: ick.

If only I were born somewhere sane. 🙄

A lot of people are really mad that trump is gay.

It makes sense that the clergy are meh on a man raping a child but oh no that's bad about a penis going in a grown man's butthole or mouth. That's their whole schtick.

Trump is The republican party is inconsistent with Christian principles.

Please no.

The clergy can go back to where they came from, the wrong side of history

Trump is inconsistent with Christian principles in the same way that Jon Brower Minnoch was inconsistent with proper dieting. What the fuck?

Religion has no place in this world.

Eww fuck democrats go independent party

They should run as Republicans, the fucking slimes.

Literally poison to the party, the complete opposite of the change inside the party people are looking for.

Please don't cost me my rights

Like ultimately I can stand with them if they worship the Jesus who welcomed eunuchs and prostitutes, and there's something positive if they can see the good in socially progressive issues. Otherwise, if they're just going to say "fuck the queers and women, but not the poor and immigrants" I'd rather they change the republican party.

If you were duped by that guy, you were either not paying attention or just really stupid. Not the kind I want inserting themselves into decision making. Fuck all the way off, please.

Keep religious types out of the Democratic party. They only bring their problematic views and conservative bullshit with them. The party already has enough problems of their own with turncoats, Republican pandering, and kowtowing to rich lobbyists.

I just never really understood anyone that could sit there and listen to what the cons and Republicans say and do and what their aims are and then think any of that lines up with red letter stuff from "the" bible.

But I'm thinking a lot of conservative xtians are not really readers, despite all their talk of "the" bible.

I hope their faith guides them but does not control nor blind them.

Easy. Dems being taken over by the enemy. Enjoy voting!

Inconsistent? I thought he was pretty consistent, really.

We’re seeing a current administration bastardise faith almost every day.

Welcome to the politicization of religion since always.

The racial divide can in part be traced to the mid-1970s when the Internal Revenue Service began removing tax-exempt status from private schools that discriminated by race. Conservative Christian leaders such as Jerry Falwell saw this as federal overreach and seized on abortion as an issue that could be framed in religious and political terms.

Falwell’s organisation the Moral Majority used abortion as a broader symbol of moral decline alongside feminism, sex education and gay rights.

How Jesus-like.

Whereas Carter earned 60% of the white evangelical vote in 1976, fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton gained only a 16% share in 2016. It was a troubling realignment that caught the eye of Doug Pagitt, a pastor and executive director of the progressive Christian group Vote Common Good.

He said: “That’s not natural. That’s not just a policy change. There was something more significant going on. It’s been a two-sided effort. Republicans have oriented themselves primarily around religious voter identity and Democrats have set aside religious voter identity, including the fact that in 1992 Democrats removed from the voter access file the category of religious identity.”

This is where Democrats fucked themselves: they have a far stronger claim to Jesus' preachings & could have easily challenged Falwell's hypocrisy.

Fuck religion.

Too little too late white men.

Took you this long…? 🤔

Lefties: *mumbling uncomfortably*

The David Frum quote works even if you replace “Democracy” with “Religion.” The only thing they won’t abandon is subjugating and oppressing others.

Gee, ya think?

"Inconsistent" is quite an understatement.
