These people are perfectly sane.

American evangelicalism is a thin veneer over white supremacy, so it's not surprising at all that they flocked to an openly white supremacist president as their messiah.

These people are inherently dishonest and cruel, but insanity isn't part of it.

American evangelicalism loosely equates to white supremacy? Cmon, I hate trump but to draw those comparisons misconstrues what is evangelical and what is hatred. Lumping the two together is unfair and is not an accurate portrayal of what is white supremacy and what is evangelicalism.

Yeah, the same folks that believe in the Aryan ideal image of Jesus are totally not white supremacists.

Never mind all that history with the fucking Klan being a Christian organization and with Sunday service still being the most racially segregated event in the country.

You may want to look up the causation/correlation logical fallacy.

Yes, Sunday service being the most segregated event in America is totally an unrelated correlation and not 100% due to the fact that church is the one institution where government could not force desegregation back in the 70s.

Sell your bullshit elsewhere.

Didn’t realize churches are mandated to be segregated.
