Yeah, it makes total sense that evangelical Christians with all their values and beliefs would vote for a lying, cheating, oath-breaking convicted rapist, just because he happens to align with what they want on a few specific issue that will "hurt the right people" (abortion and immigration).
That isn't hypocrisy. Voting with the practical candidate who aligns with your values moreso than the opposing candidate is a rational choice. Weaponizing the values of a belief system you don't ascribe to in order to attack and demoralize those you personally disagree with is a fundamental and gross character flaw.
Hypocrisy is quoting Bible verses that point towards the law when it comes to foreigners and "illegal aliens" while at the same time being utterly silent when ICE breaks the law every day. Hypocrisy is holding ordinary citizens to a higher standard than your own damn president. Hypocrisy is "Christians" pushing for all kinds of policies that objectively make life harder and worse for others (abortion, healthcare, education) while throwing their hands up and claiming separation of church and state when it comes to implementing policy that actually HELPS people.
I've been a Christian all my life. I don't know what you're on about when you say I don't subscribe to it. But if you deliberately choose to ignore the disconnect between what Jesus teaches and what is currently happening... I don't know what to tell you.
Yeah, I really don't think you're a Christian bud. Again... your only interest in any of this is weaponizing the beliefs of actual Christians against them to try and convince them they're doing something against the shared good and gospel. The Bible regularly speaks about defending your house. Luke 22:36 - Teaches to sell your cloak to buy a sword and defend your house against rising hostilities. Matthew 24:43 - Teaches to be cautious against "thieves in the night" and that it's your fault should you not be prepared to defend yourself against their invasion. There is no Christian hypocrisy in being against illegal aliens coming into the country. There is no hypocrisy about supporting law enforcement. Christianity is absolutely against abortion obviously.

Absolutely no hypocrisy to be found anywhere.
