Stop pretending that the vast majority of practicing Christians don't support him 100%. We all know it's true, we see their preachers saying it all the time.
I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a major Christian figure seriously criticize this administration, or speak out against Trump. The Pope has had a little to say, but it's still about as strong as a parent telling a child that they are "disappointed."
I'm waiting for a major political figure to condemn this administration, and tell their followers to resist this immoral, evil administration at every opportunity, but none of them have, and none of them will. Because ultimately, religion isn't about right and wrong, or good vs evil, it's about money and control, and in that concept, religion and MAGA are 100% aligned.
Saying that religion is only about money and control is like saying “computer games are all about violence”
Both are ignorant statements.
Evil people have attained great power. These people aren’t Christians, yet they pretend they are. These people prey on the poorly educated and the mentally ill.
Pretending to be Christian is just one of the tools in their arsenal.
Sincerely,
A Christian of 5 years who for 40 years was an extremely cocky atheist.
Christians are a core MAGA demographic, like it or not. Christianity is a violent terrorist hate group, and always has been.
Sure they do nice stuff now and then, but so do all evil people and organizations. Escobar built schools and churches, Hitler liked dogs and children, who fucking cares? None of their token good works offsets the evil they have done, and continue to do, and that includes ALL religions.
It is all about money and control. You cannot argue any other way. That is what religion does. It may not be what it evolves into exactly, and it may not be what the believers even want.
But there is no denying it, every modern example is this way without exception. You think people in the past were any different? You think that isn't why for the longest time Christians weren't even allowed to read their own book?
Religion is a tool to enrich some and control others.
You can put all religious people in the same basket.
People who compromise on logic to create a made up coalition of people with arbitrary rules to contrast other such people or, you know, humanity at large.
I really love how Trump just shatters every sportsmanship rule in politics ever.
If this was Trump having cancer, Biden, Gavin Newsom, Obama, and all the democrats would've sent out affirmations saying he can fight this and he is a strong person.
When Trump had his assassination attempts the democrats were basically sobbing for him.
But when Biden has cancer, this is what Trump does. Had Biden or another democratic leader ever had an assassination attempt, I know what his response would be.
His incompetence and tendency to give the other ghouls the respect they deserve (absolutely none, fuck the zionist segregationist Joe Biden) are Trump's only redeeming features.
Edit: who is downvoting me? Are there people who wish for a more competent and respectable Trump?
I have a sinking feeling he will outlive me despite being twice my age but that's because I expect that the new Medicaid work requirements that kick in in January 2027 will end with me kicked off Medicaid and unable to afford my cancer medications.
I have come to the conclusion that dying an old man in my sleep would be a waste. I think my life may have a twist ending I wasn't expecting, but I love a good twist ending.
I hope it’s on December 25 so MAGA can implode trying to decide if it’s heretical to rename Christmas to Trump Day, or if it’s more heretical to get rid of Christmas to create Trump Day.
A lifetime of racism, warmongering and genocide collaboration as cherry on the cake.
But let's make it about trump.
What a shit country, you all deserve him.
Would it be different if it was changed to "President Biden suggested people shouldn’t feel sorry for President Trump over his cancer diagnosis" or "VP Harris suggested people shouldn’t feel sorry for President Trump over his cancer diagnosis"?

The real problem here is defining Christian views. There has never been one view of Christianity. Even when Paul was around.
So no one can say all Christians are x. Or they're not true Christians because x.
But you can say a large percentage of Christian America aligns itself with the republican party. So make of that what you will.
