HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — President Donald Trump’s homestretch push to repeat his razor thin victory in Pennsylvania four years ago won’t happen without white evangelicals, and there are signs that critical component of his coalition hasn’t lost the faith.
They need to be brought to heel.
“This time around, they sound eager to repay him for supporting their agenda.”
So, PA evangelicals have sold their souls to the Devil, Donald J. Trump.
Almost wish I was a believer so I could relish seeing the faces of Trumper evangelicals on Judgement Day as they realize they’d been playing for the wrong team all along.
Joe is from PA. What say he?
Evangelicals sold their souls to Trump in a final gambit to fight abortion, which itself was originally a trojan horse for pro-segregationist policies. It’s also incredible how little average evangelical actually knows about the books of the Bible.
Evangelicals has never shied from embracing evil; see under “Protestant churches, Hitler and” in any history of Nazi Germany.
They are, as a group, like the baleful mob outside of Lot’s door, and deserve as much as that group got.
Christian Evangelicals are neither if they support Trump, and no doubt would be the first in line to crucify Jesus returned.
There are more people who are not evangelicals. Sloth, defeatism, cynicism, depair, impatience, ignorance get us more than these people.
The latter traits keep us home.
Evangelicals, though subject to every kind of negative description we can hurl at them, go to the polls.
I happen to believe that Tribalism animates them more than anything else, and when we diverse, quarrelsome Democrats thrash around in our intramural battles, they top us in an undeserved victory**
**because, as diverse and quarrelsome as we are, our policies are better for people, this nation, this Planet
There’s talk of a women’s march tonight at 8 in front of the SCOTUS and around the country.
There had better be. I am so tired of hearing about how enraged Trumpers are.
Yeah, that media trope has filtered into and colonized Dems’ minds to the point of paralysis and thinking it’s some omnipotent force. To whit: lots of comments across different threads.
Standard question to evangelicals: “When you talk about religious freedom, are you talking about freedom for all religions, or just your religion?”
Let’s back up and focus:
Almost as much as taking the WH, we have to take the Senate.
Let’s see what happens with the scene after November 3rd
My question for them is…what part of the Sermon on the Mount do you not understand?
I doubt that many more of them are going to vote than did in 2016 and they went for Trump by a very large majority then. They are a force to be reckoned with but they aren’t all-powerful.
They’re not separate. We take everything or none of it matters ever again.
Absolutely. Without the Senate, Joe is a paper tiger.
I was brought up in an evangelical family (not in the US), and though I have left the faith a long time ago, evangelicals only lost the last bit of credibility in my eyes when they started supporting Trump en masse. I still respect some members of my ex-church back in the motherland, but I have concluded that most American evangelicals are no better than the Taliban or other death cults. They are not committing mass murder themselves yet, but they have no problems with supporting politicians who are essentially doing that.
