Summary

Evangelical Christians have fallen prey to the temptations offered by Donald Trump, similar to those faced by Jesus in the desert. Trump has offered evangelicals wealth, protection, and power, leading them away from the teachings of Jesus and closer to the path set forth by the devil. The evangelical church has submitted to Trump, moving further from the values of serving the poor, healing the sick, and loving neighbors.

    Trump is a truly vile person. The recent Epstein tapes detail how he’d arrange extra-marital affairs for his “friends” so he could tell their wives about it and get them to cheat with him in revenge. Apparently one of his kinks was banging his “friend’s” wives.

    Even Epstein the pedo thinks Trump is a notably horrible person.

    That’s who Evangelical Christians are supporting, who they claim was saved by God to lead America. It boggles the mind.

      It’s really simple. He institutionalizes hate, and they love him for it. That, and the racism.

          They organize around hate, and there’s lots of things they hate.

          And not coincidentally, that’s organized around tribalism and out-groups. But there’s way more than race that they identify as and hate “outsiders” for.

      Aha, I knew Hillary was just a bit too familiar with him during those debates. …

        Looks like you’re catching a lot of strays for this but I’ll hit you with logic instead of a downvote.

        Do you really think if Trump had ever banged HIllary he’d have been able to keep his mouth shut about it during the 2016 election?

          He’s said a lot of dumb shit, but he’s smart enough to not talk about whatever happened with Epstein, for instance. I totally believe he would have kept quiet about that.
