that god wants them to suffer here on Earth, and that they will get their reward when they die.

So they don’t really care if tRump and the Rs make their lives worse. They expect it. The reason they vote R is because they want to hurt the lives of non-believers. That way, they “win” when they die because - as the illogic goes - they will be happy for eternity while the non-believers will suffer for eternity. And if they can add to that suffering by giving them a taste of it while they’re alive, well, all the better.
