Trump promises to bring a new era of Christian power

[JohnSJ]

“ As voters head to the polls on Tuesday, Donald J. Trump’s ambitions for America’s future are almost impossible to miss. He has sworn an era of “retribution” for his enemies. Vowed to deport millions of immigrants. Fueled concerns about rising fascism.

But he is making another promise that may be overlooked, but equally transformative: He will champion his followers’ brand of Christianity across American life and government.

Publicly, the former president has avoided boasting about the main accomplishment that made him a hero to conservative Christians: ending Roe v. Wade. And he has distanced himself from Project 2025, the conservative blueprint for a Trump presidency.

Instead, his support for “my beautiful Christians,” as he calls them, leans heavily into their fears about losing power in a secularizing and pluralist country — where a majority of women support Vice President Kamala Harris.”

6. As a practicing Christian...

…following the master whose triumph came on the cross, I have to clearly state that “Christian power” should be an oxymoron.

8. How does he reconcile fellating a microphone in front of a crowd with Christian nationalism?

Or with any kind of Christian identity? Is porn sacred?

9. Political Christians rather than Christians of faith.

Trump's political Christians are the public face of Christianity in America today.

10. They have too much power. This is like saying billionaires need more money.

11. Are atheists, humanists, agnostics, etc. going to be rounded up

with the immigrants? Are we going to be executed for being godless heathens?

13. I would suspect any non-Christians in that group, Jews, Muslims etc. The U.S. version of the crusades.

12. Surely just the message his Muslim Harris-hating followers in Michigan want to hear

His timing, as usual, is impeccable.
