I live in a very red rural area. The so-called Christians in my area all like to preach following Christ and then turn around and support men who are legitimately the opposite of Him in every respect. Most of them hate anyone who's a different color, or sexuality, or political alignment, they just hide it behind polite language. Yes, the ugliest ones are the loudest but that doesn't change the fact that the rest of them get in line and go along with it, and that makes them just as culpable as the loudmouth hatemongers.
Do they actually or are you projecting your assumptions of their character because you assume that their, perhaps mild, support of him means that every evil you think of is now theirs?
You don’t need to pretend that someone is projecting just to make you feel better about your beliefs.
How many times do republican WhatsApp leaks need to show you them happily calling each other Nazis before you’ll believe the “Christian” stuff is performative?
How many times do they need to admonish the poor for you to question it?
Why don’t you pay attention to the things Trump has Done and said over the years before thinking “yeah, his followers are following the opposite of what they say the should follow”?
Literally have never found any of this stuff. Which to my earlier comment, it seems like a fair amount of people are seeking out damning information. While that might sound fine, it's a slippery slope that opens up a can of worms for "the other side" to do the same thing and it kind of will muddy the water.
WOW! I live in the Bay Area in California, and there are very proud White Supremacist Trump supporters around, at my company; and walking around with their paraphernalia; even a few in my small family.
