31. Nope. Fake Christians are people who call themselves Christians but do not follow

Sun Feb 9, 2025, 11:39 AM

Feb 2025

the teachings of Christ. Those are the people that support Trump. Real Christians are people who actually do follow the teachings of Christ. These people would never support Trump as he is totally antithetical to Christ's teaching and most are extremely angry at the Fake Christians who have co-opted the word.

It not only fair, but at this point rather necessary to make the distinction between the 2 groups. Anybody who lumps them all together is being ignorant of reality.
