There is absolutely nothing about Trump that should be attractive for Christians.

Anyone who follows him has no idea what Jesus was teaching. Period.

When that didn’t happen, I knew the Trump Evans were lost to god and country.

I, too, am disgusted by Christians who support Trump. As is “the universe”. I also believe in karma, and other less-Christian features of our universe.

Trump is splitting Christians, not uniting them. He is separating the hypocrite Christians (his supporters) from peace-loving supporters of Jesus.

Everyone should cheer hypocrites being dragged down, not complain how long it took.

That’s the sort of snarky mindset we should be trying to defeat.

When Christians break apart from the cult, it isn’t the time to insult them.

Separating the wheat from the chaff. Who follows the actual teachings of the Hebrew carpenter and who's in it for the money and haughtiness. As an agnostic, my criticism sometimes spills across the board, but it really shouldn't. My better half usually reins me in. She grew up Quaker and still practices. Wonderful people, Quakers. Locally, the UCC, Congregationalist, Episcopal and , of course, the UU congregations are great folks. But I wouldn't piss on Southern Baptists if they were on fire. Let 'em burn. Wheat from the chaff I guess.

Pompeo and Pence are ardent members of this despicable cult.

His basic business model was rape, pillage and plunder...

It might give you some relief to know his business is no longer....

on edit:

The business owner and some other business owners needed a little extra scripture/theory to justify their greed...

they came up with this mantra that they were "3rd dispensationalist Dominionists"...supposedly meaning that God had given "three dispensations" from the commandments...I have no idea what they were.
