Is “Intelligent design” still a thing?
Also, don’t forget forcing Walmart Greeters to say “Merry Christmas”!
Trump Enslavement Syndrome - Orange man good. /r/The_Donald and any public demonstration of rabid pro-Trump enthusiasm in spite of all reason.

I think there are three reasons why crazy religious people support Trump
1. Mike Pence who is a pretty Christian guy himself.
2. Trump won through impossible odds in the eyes to most people so they probably thought it was a miracle.
3. Trump never said anything hateful about Christians and has met with evangelical leaders.
Things would be different if Trump had a different VP and if his 2016 win was more predictable to most people.

So what is it about 75 year old career grifters that you find sexually appealing?

I just hope this artwork of a shirtless Trump doesn't cause the A&Hers to masturbate too much

Trump chose Pence to help get the religious vote. The fact that he had a shitty run as governor or thought that electro-shock therapy could help cure homosexuality was irrelevant, both now and in 2016.

Yep I pretty much just said that.
Pence is really the source of how Trump got his religious lunatic following just so Trump doesn't alienate the Christian Right without pandering too hard to religion in the general election by just picking Pence. It's like why Obama picked Joe Biden for VP to get the people concerned by his lack of political experience to be comforted by how Obama picked someone who was in the senate for so long.

There are days when I think Trump is an antichrist. Not the antichrist - an antichrist.
(If he were the Antichrist he'd be terrible at it. Everyone's supposed to love the Antichrist and think he's a genius.)

Religious people supported Trump because he basically left them alone. I heard him compared to Darius, who was a non-Jewish ruler who was still pretty chill with the Judeans doing their own thing. He also did them a couple of solids, the specifics of which I don't remember off the top of my head. I believe one was dropping where the Obama administration had tried to force a group of nuns to pay for abortion in their medical care.
The truth is anyone who has been paying attention wouldn't have been surprised by this. The Democratic side has spent the better part of a decade talking shit and trying to actively fuck with them, while the Republican side would screw them over to look good for the media or to line their pockets. If those have been your choices, why wouldn't you support the guy who has no interest in you, for good or ill? It's the same thing as what happened with the working class, where the Republicans openly hated them, and the Democrats would betray them at the drop of a hat.

The religious right of the 80's and 90's tried to take a wrecking ball to every element of culture that threatened them while simultaneously living up to none of the true teachings of Jesus turning many of their children into devout atheists. Now that the holdouts deep in the heartland who escaped this first wave have crowned Trump Jesus 2.0 maybe when their kids grow up Christians can finally be the minority they've been claiming to be for the past 15 years.

Official catholic doctrine, as well as mainline protestantism (Which evangelicals are not), splits the middle now and purports "Theistic Evolution" as the origin of man, where God nudged a specific species down the path to personhood via a sort of curated evolution.
It's one of the big modern sticking points between the laypeople of the groups nowadays, due to public school policy still being religiously kmotivated a lot of the time.

Trumptards are literally incapable of even realizing that most people don't like Trump at all. They're unaware that he is actually incredibly unpopular and literally had the lowest approval rating of any President since they started keeping records of it.

I'd imagine his promise to overturn roe v wade and being outspoken about being anti abortion played a bigger factor.
There's also the propaganda that the DEMONRATS are Christian hating, baby killing commies that want to enforce Sharia law.

The irony is Trump probably doesn't give much of a fuck about abortion.

That is just the most blasphemous thing I think I have ever seen. I'm not even remotely religious and it is offensive.

The entire point of Jesus sacrificing himself to forgive humanity of their sin was that the old covenant was being broken so that mankind could continue on, under their own free will as God intended from the beginning. The point is that you can be a sinner but as long as you have a good heart and try to do the right thing you can find forgiveness.
If Trump comes out in 2024 leading a serious contender against the GOP and DNC and announces his intention all along was to break up the two-party system I will hang a photo of him on my wall and kiss it every morning before I go to work.

Whenever you look at something like this, ask yourself - how would the person making this react if it was Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders or AOC in Trump's place?

Everyone talking about how Pence helped drive evangelicals to Trump seems to be forgetting that Jerry Falwell Jr. endorsed Trump before the 2016 Iowa caucuses. There was actually a bit of a divide between Trump and Cruz within evangelical circles during the 2016 primary, with Cruz being a more traditional evangelical candidate in the Huckabee mold despite being a reptilian, and Trump seemingly more willing to go on the offense against perceived cultural enemies.
I don't want to discount the impact of negative partisanship throughout American politics, but I think it absolutely was the driving factor for the rank-and-file on both sides in 2016. Maybe it always has been, but social media certainly amplifies it. I'm at the point where I would vote for someone regardless of ideology if they committed to only using social media for constituent services and conveying government information, rather than engaging in daily slapfights with the opposition like Cruz or Ilhan Omar or countless others. Never gonna happen, but a man can dream.
