very worthwhile 2 segmnent video:
many Christians voted trump.
Its my strong conviction that Trump is the ass God wants America to pull their head out of.
Trump leads by bad example.
Trump is an obstacle to overcome in your spiritual evolution.
Its very clear what God considers the high road and the low road, the wheat and the chaff. It doesnt get more chaff than Trump.
if you put your atheism aside for a moment and measure the actions of Trump againstr what you know and understand about Jesus, would you put Trump on the same side or opposite side of Jesus?
this as a political discussion to determine whether the christian right have it wrong.

Religion can be used as a very powerful marketing tool......to the extent you can get people to go against their own religious beliefs. And what happened in the previous years is proof of that.
There is a saying that "the devil also hides behind the cross ".

This reminds me of the episode of The West Wing where Islamic terrorists kidnap the President’s daughter, and they’re threatening to kill her unless the President meets their demands.
Then the President explains that, actually, killing innocent people is against the will of Allah. The terrorists, having been defeated by facts and logic, give up the daughter’s location and surrender.
In other words: pure, uncut liberal fantasy.

I think your assumption that the christian right follow the teachings of Jesus and their own religious texts is incorrect.
However, I also recognize this is a No True Scotsman fallacy. Trump is therefore the Jesus candidate, because that's what the Jesus people say. I'm no christian, I don't get involved in that bullshit, so I trust them when they say that Trump is the president that Jesus would want.
Sounds to me like Jesus has some questionable judgement.
---
But, apart from the actual text of your post, I think Christians, more specifically evangelical Christians, but the others tagged along for the ride, made a deal with Trump. They would overlook his behavior and everything about him, calling him King Cyrus and all that, and push their churches to vote for him, as long as he delivered on evangelical christian priorities like banning abortion, banning gay marriage, banning contraception, banning miscegenation, and otherwise pushing a dominionist worldview.
And then Trump committed the Ultimate Sin. He lost re-election. God may love the sinner and hate the sin, but God most definitely does not suffer losers.

I'm trying to imagine how an interaction between Trumpy and Jesus might go and my mind keeps coming back to this gem:
Quote:
Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, “May you never bear fruit again!” Immediately the tree withered.

Millions of Americans are seething with excitement that the government now has Trump's tax returns!
It's great news that in 2023 we will finally see renewed January 6th hearings. Thank God.
7 years in and the fervent Trump orgy continues to skyrocket. What a uniquely special man he is.
Thanks CNN, NBC, PBS, NPR, BBC, AP, CBS, ABC, WAPO . . . We're still wildly infatuated with Donald Trump!
(Thanks to Oprah & David Letterman for encouraging him to run for president for so many years)
