    Every fuck time there is a Republican president they claim he is sent from God. A new Messiah and anyone who doesn’t pray to him isn’t a real Christian.

    It’s manipulation and using Christianity as a weapon for political gain. Only the weak willed ones fall for that.

      This is why I laugh when anyone claims that church and government is separate in America. You literally swear on the Bible before taking office. Honestly, to me, America has always had a similar air of religious fundamentalism as some middle eastern countries. I have always seen them as extreme af. The whole abortion debacle is totally about religious values and religious control. No one can convince me otherwise.

        Haha and even more ironic here is that trump skipped this step this time and nobody said a word.

          It is very funny. And honestly, good for him, but it is a bit funny considering his voter base.

      Only the weak willed ones fall for that.

      So, half the voting population.

      Also, there has to be something else because I wouldn’t consider myself strong-willed but I’d never fall for this sort of kneejerk rhetoric leading straight to kneejerk voting.

        I really don’t think even half of Trump voters voted for him because they think God wanted them to, and Trump voters don’t make up half the population.
