13. "Thank you, Lord Jesus, for President Trump!"

Jan 2017

Here's an excerpt from my web page, showing what motivated some to LOVE Trump:

"after having suffering stunning and humiliating defeats in recent years over gay marriage and Obamacare, and seeing the eminent threat of the loss of the Supreme Court as a result of the death of Justice Scalia, what drew the conservative white Christians and Roman Catholics to the polls to vote for Donald Trump wasn't that they actually believed that Trump could deliver on his many bombastic claims, summarized in his promise to make America great again, but they were sure, just as we are sure, that Donald Trump and his aggressively conservative white Christian and Roman Catholic vice-presidential partner Mike Pence will deliver on their promise to make America more conservative again, on gay marriage, on abortion, on white privilege, on Christian privilege, on immigration, on public education, on gun rights, on military policy, on policing, on voting rights, on tax cuts for the rich and service cuts for the needy, etc., etc.



I believe that they voted in overwheling numbers for this greedy, lying, irreligious, lecherous, thrice-married, irrational, dangerous candidate because all of the causes that they have been told for years by their conservative Christian leaders are crucial to their "Christian" (i.e conservative) faith are now going to be propelled forwardby a Trump/Pence victory, while they would have been dashed by a Clinton/Kaine victory!"
