Why do so many evangelical Christians support former President Donald Trump despite his decades of documented ungodly behavior?
An in-depth report from The Economist shows that it has a simple explanation: They believe that God personally appointed him to rule the United States.
In fact, the report cites a survey conducted by Denison University political scientist Paul Djupe that around 30 percent of Americans believe Trump “was anointed by God to become president.”
[they believe that] God will use Trump to crush opposition to Christian nationalism and restore Christians as the nation’s rightful political rulers.
i’ve said for years that all the so-called “hypocrisy” of the christian right supporting the decidedly unchristian donald trump vanishes when you account for one fact: he’ll let them hurt who they want to hurt.
I wonder if they also have parasites and love sucking down chemicals from corporations with lifestyle statements… OF COURSE THEY DO. FILTHY OTHERSIDERS
To be fair, a shocking number of Americans are, at best, complete dumbasses.
I’ll bet that number and your number are pretty close.
