I was initially shocked and confused when Christians close to me supported him but looking back I'm not sure why. You're right: he is a reflection of them and evangelical culture. It's been there all along and so much more has been exposed.
I'm sorry you continue to be on the receiving end of hatred and vitriol. At this point, I'm not surprised but the reality of it evokes such deep grief.
“I’m convinced that, by and large, white evangelicals champion Trump, not despite his terrible flaws but because of them.”
I couldn’t agree more. I think they want license to be as sinful, angry and as power hungry as they want to be in the name of Christ. As a churchgoer it makes me angry that when people think of Protestant churches in America, their heretical views of our Faith is what people see.
My extended family thinks I’m ridiculous when I remind them that: “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
We are to be able to recognize evil and fake Christians. He’s a Herod and they can’t see it. They pray for him to God and what do they think God’s response is to that?
If Trump voters are de facto signing off on all of the ills of their candidate, and therefore failing to maintain character, would Kamala voters be de facto signing off on the genocide that her administration is facilitating? Should the continued, very often unqualified support amidst a historic atrocity be pinned on them in the history books? (didn’t vote for Trump, but inquiring about the discourse).
I hope we reach greater solidarity with your posts. Please allow me to add my thoughts for our success. Jesus taught that if we don’t believe in him at least believe in his works. Loving his enemies was the basis for all his works, and that’s why he used the example of the Good Samaritan, who loved his enemy, a Judean, while the Samaritans did not even believe in him.
Join me in learning how to teach non-believers and believers how to love their enemies.

I think you’re on to something… what a sad and pathetic indictment on evangelicals. Seen it with my own eyes.

Whataboutism is the refuge of the immature
They think they've won something. But they have lost everything. They're just to stubborn to notice.
They just keep praying for the fake Christian and thanking God he was elected.
Evil is staring right back at them and they choose not to see it.
Yes, you’re going to have that stain for a long time!

It will be exponentially less than yours should be after witnessing the disgrace the current administration has brought to this country!
Hhmmm
Thank you for your witness.
