Politics and White Evangelicalism and the Politics of Power

[JakeStarkey]

White evangelicals in 2016 shed their moral coat of many colors and revealed their lack of morals and empty souls.

They elected a non-Christian, an adulterer, a money thief, a liar, and that is only the beginning of Twittler's evil personality.

They demanded "lock her up" and impeachment for the Clintons, yet when pointed out Trump is the same. they smile and say "so what, we got what we wanted. Praise Jesus!"

Why White Evangelicalism is So Cruel // Chris Ladd // Forbes

When you watch them cheering Trump, you know how little has changed. White. Fundamentalist. They won a victory when political correctness brought the change from `fundamentalist; to `evangelical' [which actually means spreading the Gospel] and `Bible belt' became unacceptable in the MSM. Let's be candid - white is the part of their identity that matters most. African Americans have been as "evangelical" as their white co-religionists and political antagonists. - gwc

White Evangelical Christians opposed desegregation tooth and nail. Where pressed, they made cheap, cosmetic compromises, like Billy Graham’s concession to allow black worshipers at his crusades. Graham never made any difficult statements on race, never appeared on stage with his “black friend” Martin Luther King after 1957, and he never marched with King. When King delivered his “I Have a Dream Speech,” Graham responded with this passive-aggressive gem of Southern theology, “Only when Christ comes again will the little white children of Alabama walk hand in hand with little black children.” For white Southern evangelicals, justice and compassion belong only to the dead.

Great description of Bill Clinton.

One, as if pointing at Bill Clinton frees you from the sin of voting for Trump. Or Clinton.

Two, shame on you.

I voted for McMullin.

Voting for Hillary would have been a bigger sin.

Voting for either of them is a mortal sin.

evangelical white trash is what you Trump voters are, absolute filth

yes, you have been weighted and found wanting

I voted for McMullin

Former CIA, and Goldman Sachs investment banker. Not exactly a "change" candidate.

Certainly not for an immoral white evangelical voter

I only voted for him to piss off people like you. Succeeded beyond my wildest imagination.

those whites are terrible
those white people are EVIL
Trump is SATANNNNNNNNNN!!!!! a snake with the devil's head !!!!
Billy G was also EVIL!! speaking with forked tongue

they made cheap, cosmetic compromises

He isn't Satan. Satan would have to give up the throne to Rump though!

Voting for Hillary would have been as big a sin as voting for Trump. The dif is the white evangelical Christians know better.

Thankfully the First Amendment safeguards the rights and protected liberties of citizens from the arrogance, ignorance, bigotry, racism, and hate common to the most on the social right.
