Supporting Trump requires ownership of every bad thing he stands for or does [View all]

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2023/08/supporting-trump-means-owning.html

And that puts a lot of far right wing political Christians in a very, very bad place as far as their faith and doctrine teach.

From Rodney Kennedy, author of Good and Evil in the Garden of Democracy

"He is a low grade fascist, a demagogue, a renegade populist, a rhetorical pervert, a serial liar, and a rhetorical arsonist who will not hesitate to light the fire and burn down the house of democracy."

That works for me. And I will add that he has already helped his conservative, Evangelical supporters burn down their faith, and their church, destroying its reputation, its ability to fulfill its evangelistic, Christian, biblical mission and purpose and he has created massive divisiveness and introduced heresy in the form of criticizing the person of Jesus Christ and rejecting his core teachings. If you need evidence for any of that, take a look at church membership and attendance records since Trump became President in 2016.

If you're a Trump supporter, you must own the things that he is and that's completely contrary to honesty, decency and the kind of faith that loves its enemies and turns the other cheek.
