MODERATORS
Are there any church-going Christian users who have their finger on the pulse here? I'm interested to hear what people are thinking.
Not myself but a family member's friend's friend isn't necessarily voting for him because of his religious walk, but because he isn't Biden.
The thing is, they spend their whole existence seeking out what all they can criticize Biden for - but zero time on what they can criticize Trump for. It's imbalanced, it's been pointed out, but they don't seem to care.
They've absolutely lost some friends.
It's the "I don't like the Red Sox, but I will cheer for them vs. the Yankees"
I wish I knew. I am in absolute disbelief that so many have fallen for this guy. We're at a new church this year, partly because of the Trump nonsense. New pastor hasn't said anything remotely political and I hope it stays that way.
I am no longer religious, but I went to a Roman Catholic school in the UK. Across most of Europe most people see Christianity...and then they see whatever the fuck is going on in America.
To be fair it is referring to Christian nationalists not your aunt Betty who goes to church on Sunday, volunteers, and keeps to herself with respect to religion and politics.
You never met Aunt Betty.
Of course, I think you're right, but I still wanted to understand things from a closer viewpoint.
