What is it with Trump people follow him

like a cult? I saw a family eating at McDonald's this afternoon. They had just came from a kids baseball game, the father, mother and both kids were wearing Trump gear. I always thought Nostradamas was bullshit. Since Trump I actually believe the man is evil. Wasn't the anti-christ supposed to come out of New York? The address of his son-in-laws building 666. I just don't get it over 50% of Americans can't stand him yet there are 25 to 40% that worship the sob.

he is not qualified to be a f---'g dog catcher. I wouldn't trust an animal with him. He brags about assaulting women. He has what 20 women acusing him of assault
even rape. He is stupid as a hoe handle and ugly as a pile of shit.

hat or Bush hat 3 years into their presidency. I know of several people around here that fly Trump flags every day.
I have even seen several with the image of Trump sitting in their back seat.

The family at McDonalds (btw, that was likely a gourmet meal for that family) likely had come from a group of like minds. They are best ignored, given their in your face manor, both were likely packing, not worth being shot by one of those fools.

I saw a man driving a pickup truck the other day with a huge American flag sticking out of the back compartment. All over his truck were Trump 2020 stickers and the like. Little yellow snake stickers curled up as if to warn you that the driver would just as soon take a bite out of you then shake your hand. I just don't get it.

Christian evangelicals would be the first to follow the antichrist. The antichrist would be a master deciever, what better group to convert first than one that fancies itself as the most Christlike and devout?

well all the false prophets and such.

"Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."

Ephesians 6


How could they be wrong, they have the arrogance of faith.

I am no Christian, the whole thing is nonsense. But I have dealt with skilled con artists before, they use anything and everything to break a person down. If one believes in it, the antichrist would be a conartist on a megadose of steroids.

I am a deist. I don't believe that our existence is by chance, but how I see things from that point is vastly, vastly different from how Christians believe. I don't hate Christians, some of them are the most honest, caring and loyal people that one can meet. What I do know is that rightwing evangelicals are not Christians, one only has to observe them for a few minutes to see that reality.

Didn’t disappear after graduation. Most of them didn’t grow up either. They just got shitty jobs, married other nasty people, and walk around with a huge chip on their shoulder blaming everyone else for their problems.

in my blue area (thank Dog). When I do see a bumper sticker that supports him I laugh out loud and wish the owner would see and hear me. They deserve to be ridiculed for their hateful, harmful and ignorant beliefs.
