Why do so many evangelical Christians support former President Donald Trump despite his decades of documented ungodly behavior?

An in-depth report from The Economist shows that it has a simple explanation: They believe that God personally appointed him to rule the United States.

In fact, the report cites a survey conducted by Denison University political scientist Paul Djupe that around 30 percent of Americans believe Trump "was anointed by God to become president."

And when a Democrat is elected? The same group denies, denies, denies.

If God is all powerful, why did your guy lose?

Either God isn't all powerful, or he's not your guy after all...

We are so fucked.

If Trump wins, he is literally at this point stating he will be a dictator, that he wants to get rid of vermin people, and that he is very concerned about the purity of the blood of the nation.

If he loses, these deranged imbeciles have /a lot of guns/ and I am convinced they will basically figure out how to top 9/11, either in one concentrated burst of insanity, or more likely exceed it in body count in something like a few weeks of domestic terrorist attacks around the country.

The possibly even more terrifying thing is that roughly similar numbers of Americans believe in all or a substantial amount of the QAnon nonsense, and the Venn Diagram between QAnon adherents and Trump is God's President people is practically a circle.

50 million delusional angry armed psychopaths.

I sure hope I can get into Canada within a few years.

50 million armed, delusional, and angry, but have you SEEN them? ;)

Any serious resistance and they run off like the giant babies they are.

and that he is very concerned about the purity of the blood of the nation.

If blood is too "pure", it breaks down.

But that he still can be a candidate, seems like the US is close to dictatorship anyway.
