White evangelical voters show steadfast support for Donald Trump’s presidency
Trump’s strongest supporters among evangelical leaders can likely expect the kind of White House access they had in the first Trump term.
After former President Donald Trump gave his victory speech early Wednesday, at the Palm Beach Convention Center, dozens of his supporters gathered in a lobby to sing “How Great Thou Art,” reciting from memory the words and harmonies of a classic hymn, popular among evangelical Christians.
It was a fitting coda to an election in which Trump once again won the support of about 8 in 10 white evangelical Christian voters, according to AP VoteCast, a sweeping survey of more than 120,000 voters. That margin — among a group that represented about 20% of the total electorate — repeats similarly staggering margins of evangelical support that T rump received in 2020.
I hope religion continues its slow death in America. Forcing your beliefs on people doesn’t help.
I was an agnostic when I was 12-years-old. "Christians" have made me an atheist.
Maybe that's their goal. Playing 5-D checkers there.
It's not actually about religion at all anymore.
Makes sense to me. If you lack the critical thinking skills to see the contradictions in the fairy tales the Bible serves up, you're likely to miss the fact that the guy paying lip service to 'Christian values' is the antithesis to said values.

It's really disappointing that so many "Christians" are blind to the fact that Trump fits many of the descriptors for the Antichrist. He may not be the definitive article (he doesn't quite match everything), but is definitely one of those false prophets the Bible specifically warns Christians to look out for. They are ignorant of what the Bible says and the values it actually stands for.
Problem is that almost all people who rise to power fit the description, more or less. What's more disappointing to me ia that evangelicals are willing to completely undermine their own Christian witness by submitting to a leader who is, literally, the exact opposite of what they otherwise preach when they choose a leader, all for a few pieces of political red meat. I can't take anything they say seriously.

They have never given a good reason to be taken seriously.
The book of revelation talks about a flock mislead. That gods followers will be mislead by a false prophet.
It's because those motherfuckers desperately want to meet God and believe Trump is their fastpass to heaven.
This is such a thumbnail lol
Are they still going to support him when his prolapsed rectum gets sucked down into the White House plumbing?
Yeah, because all these dumbasses are upset that their numbers are dwindling and want to force people to be in their silly little book club, against their will, and against the Constitution.
