    Christians are very easily duped and therein lies the problem.

    Trump has never attended ANY church organically of his own volition.

    He was a registered Democrat— easily Googled. He raw dogged a porn star while cheating on his pregnant wife. They don’t give a fig unless Fox News tells them ‘they are upset now’, and feeds them their latest talking point.

      I think you are misunderstanding Christian nationalists. They don’t believe in anything remotely like what Christ taught. They believe in white supremacy, misogyny, and greed. Trump ticks all the right boxes for them.

        Right but they don’t admit that, they want the appearance of giving a shit about Jesus

        They should rename the fallacy to, “no true Christian” at this point.

        Interesting how it’s never actually the real Christians that behave this way, because if they do, then they’re not “real” Christians. Convenient, huh?

        Christ didn’t teach anything. He is a fable made up by James and Paul. Modern Christians don’t believe certain cherry picked stuff the stories had him say.

        If you look at what the fable said you get a vile character who is aligned well with fascism.

      Yeah, it’s literally baked into the scripture. The authority figures that made it up made sure to include blind obedience as a central virtue, so they could better control the masses. That’s why they came up with the whole thing.

      If you convince a Christian (or Muslim or Hindu or whatever) fundamentalist that you’re a righteous defender of the ideals of their religion, they’ll let you get away with literally anything, including but not limited to “grabbing them by the pussy”.

        Exactly. The fact that their pea brains disallow critical thought is the mechanism politicians have seized on.

      Yup. They’ve basically been primed for decades to believe absurd bullshit with zero evidence. It’s an entire class of proud rubes.

      I remember Trump saying something low effort like “I love religion, I love the Bible” and it WORKED!
