In a video on youtube of a recentJim Bakker show, Bakker shows and discusses some of T family pictures. Great praise for T's' committed christian parents!!' No mention, of course, about father's racist policies and
KKK membership. Although - given today's 'committed christians' - those facts probbably confirm he's one of them.

(82,849 posts)According to the ideals they claim to cherish, it seems that Trump has violated practically all of them. Five children (that we know of) by three different women; on his third marriage; parental neglect to the point of child abuse; multiple frauds perpetrated on vulnerable people; cocaine use; failed casino owner; and on and on. But he's adopted the proper tribal identity (for now), so it's all good.

(31,535 posts)They want so badly to believe that he is a Godly man that they pretend that's what he is. I can't think of any other explanation. The grab them by the pu**y tape, the 3 marriages, walking in dressing rooms while teen girls are changing, the allegations of rape, sexual assault and harassment. . . none of those had any effect on their desire to see him in the oval office. They didn't even bat an eyelash. Just a bunch of hypocrites as far as I'm concerned.

(3,011 posts)You know that liberals want abortions so they can be cheap whores without consequences and liberals think it's ok for gay men to turn boys gay by abusing them and for men to hang out in the girl's bathroom by pretending to be trans and liberals are destroying the institution of marriage. Plus, they want hand outs and free everything so they don't have to work for anything.
Evangelicals are god-fearing. They understand the world is coming to an end soon. It is clearly written in the scripture that the increasing storms and wars and rumors of wars and the antiChrist (which was Obama) mean the end of the world is coming. They are tired of working so hard and having lazy liberals get free handouts.
Trump is allowing them to express their anger and he tells the truth!
You asked.
Signed,
A lifelong liberal who lives with a die-hard trumpist

(31,535 posts)They saw Trump on "The Apprentice" and thought that if he could make himself rich and powerful, he could do the same for them. Most can't separate his tv persona from the real life loser he is.
