I saw a clip on the internet which claimed that 80 percent of America's white evangelicals voted for Donald Trump in 2016, and that today, after all of the revelations about pussy-grabbing, adultery, sleeping with (and being spanked by) porn stars, incessant lying, prodigious gluttony, conspiring with foreign governments, sidling up to Nazis and domestic terrorists, using his political position for personal profit, hurling insults at the handicapped and powerless, and generally being an awful excuse for a human being - after all of that - white evangelical support for Donald John Trump is unwavering!
If God is speaking to these people, or worse yet through these people, He must be one twisted son-of-a bitch!
The clip that I saw showed Fat Man Trump waving a copy of a book that he claims to have written (The Art of the Deal) while declaring that his favorite book is the Bible. The fact that statement was not followed by a barrage of lightening would be seen by some as proof that God does not exist.
But Donald Trump claims to have a relationship with the white God of vengeance so adored and worshipped by multitudes of intolerant evangelical Christians. He is so admiring of this large, white, male deity that he is endorsing the idea of slathering that belief upon America's public school students through the notion of Bible literacy classes. Several states have already endorsed this idea of backdoor religious indoctrination through a sham of teaching the Bible as literature - or history - though those same states have made no moves to bring other religious texts into their public classrooms to explore their literary or historical merit - texts like the Holy Koran, for instance, or the Bhagavad Gita.
But Donald Trump loves his Bible, so let the proselytizing begin!
Interestingly, a New York City pastor of a church where Donald Trump claimed to have been a member for several years said that he had never known Trump to attend any Bible study classes. (Perhaps with Trump's largebutt brain, he figured that he already knew it all.)
Donald Trump is a walking, talking insult to the very notion of true Christianity, yet the hard core evangelicals can't get enough of him. Trump is their drug, their golden idol in a golden tower, their proof to the world and to themselves that God exists and that he is every bit as ignorant, intolerant, and mean-spirited as they are.
The Trump presidency has allowed evangelicals to be the people they always knew themselves to be, and it has shown the rest of the world exactly who (or what) they are as well.
Perhaps we are staring down the barrel at End Times, and, if we are, at least that will rid us of Donald Trump and his phony Christian crusaders.
Praise Jesus and Jerry Falwell's pool boy!

Just to be clear, God did not anoint Donald Trump. Evangelicals have to swallow this load of manure because they have made it their mission to violate the Establishment Clause of the Constitution in order to overturn Roe v. Wade. That Hellish result is about to become a reality.
Having sold their souls to Satan so that Trump, the Heritage Foundation, and Mitch McConnell they have packed the Supreme Court and the Courts of Appeal, and the lower federal courts with bought and sold conservatives willing to do the bidding of their master.
In return the alleged Christians are fully complicit in the caging of children, hostility to migrants, and full fledged racism run amok through our land. These are not the fruit of the Spirit. These are the product hate, pure unadulterated hate. These are the things for which otherwise good people will be sent straight to Hell. The alleged Christians forgot Judgment Day. Jesus won't.
Neither will God forget the destruction of the environment by the wealthy in the pursuit of more wealth. Science tells us we have little more than a decade to repent, to literally turn around the earth's dependence on fossil fuels or Judgment Day will be here before our grandbabies can have grandbabies.
Abortion was a practice well known when Jesus strode the earth. We should do as He did when it comes to this topic and leave it alone.
There are a lot of evangelicals in our neck of the woods and both of you have described them as they are. We have life-long friends who have become evangelicals and they have drunk the cool aid. It is frightening. Very frightening. They ignore all logic and common sense and follow him blindly. When he held up the Bible the other day while talking, I became ill! As a life-long Methodist, I have always thought I could recognize a Christian wherever I might meet one. These people have found a totally different definition of a Christian. WWJD was a popular mantra some years back. It is clear that today's evangelicals don't have a clue as to WWJD! Can we say "God help us all" any more?
