How long are angry lefties going to play the amateur game of trying to split the republican base? That stuff was old back in the 70's. It's obvious that democrats have nothing to offer America except a clown car full of socialist idiots and one actual brain damaged old time politician who spends his time apologizing for his freaking career.
You could try addressing the OP content; just a thought ...........
Evangelicals are like any other demographic group in the population, they aren't going to vote for candidates who hate their guts.
And all of the Democrats hate their guts.
I don't know how detailed polling was in 1932 German, but I'm would think the record shows that Hitler and the National Socialist ticket didn't polls too well with Jewish voters either.
LolThis is really the first President where religion has played a vocal role, that I remember anyway. A person's religion, including the President's, is a personal thing and except for JFK being a Catholic (which I was too young to recall, myself) I don't think a big group of any denomination has come out for this candidate or that, have they? At least not officially.None of these other people were someone Evangelicals could support? 2016 Republican Party presidential candidates - Wikipedia
The GOP evangelicals made a choice; they chose power over their own faith aka they denied Jesus.
they will go to Hell for that
Here's the problem with your condemnation of our Evangelical Friends- you aren't a member of the evangelical Christian faith, so you have no cachet with them. It would be like me going to Mecca and telling the whirling dervishes that they aren't proper Muslims because they aren't on the corner selling incense and newsletters like "proper Muslims". I just don't have the standing to tell them that.
BTW, would you say the same about Democrat Evangelicals who chose power by voting for Hillary over their own faith?
I was raised in the SBC & then I went on to the COC later. Back in the day there was no 'bastardization' of Christianity by the GOP perverting 'faith' as a poster child for politics as there has been over the past 3 to 4 decades.
The GOP's use of Christianity for a political tool is IMO an unpardonable sin.
Those within the churches that played along with this usurpation of their own faith sold themselves to a political entity over their own other worldly treasure.
I don't blame the evangelicals as much as I blame their leadership.
The Moral Majority, under the leadership of Rev. Jerry Fallwell was the first right wing preacher to endorse a candidate for President - Ronald Reagan. Republicans made the evangelicals a LOT of promises abouts gay rights, abortion rights, and women's rights, all of which they promptly forgot about after he was elected. Reagan's election was due to a disparate coalition of factions, many of whom had competing interests, and some of whom had aligning interests.
Evangelicals have been voting Republicans, and encouraging their flocks to vote Republican ever since. With Trump, leaders sold him to their parishoners on the idea of conservative judges, and the checks and balances of a Republican House and Senate. As I previously posted, Trump is the ONLY President to actually deliver on his promises to evangelicals, so their support is truly cemented at this point.
But Trump was a much harder sell to evangelicals because of his obvious flaws, so they really sold this idea of "God's imperfect vessel" and "God wanted Donald Trump elected", which they are flogging for all it's worth right now.

One of the most extraordinary things about our current politics—really, one of the most extraordinary developments of recent political history—is the loyal adherence of religious conservatives to Donald Trump. The president won four-fifths of the votes of white evangelical Christians. This was a higher level of support than either Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush, an outspoken evangelical himself, ever received.
Trump’s background and beliefs could hardly be more incompatible with traditional Christian models of life and leadership. Trump’s past political stances (he once supported the right to partial-birth abortion), his character (he has bragged about sexually assaulting women), and even his language (he introduced the words pussy and shithole into presidential discourse) would more naturally lead religious conservatives toward exorcism than alliance. This is a man who has cruelly publicized his infidelities, made disturbing sexual comments about his elder daughter, and boasted about the size of his penis on the debate stage. His lawyer reportedly arranged a $130,000 payment to a porn star to dissuade her from disclosing an alleged affair. Yet religious conservatives who once blanched at PG-13 public standards now yawn at such NC-17 maneuvers. We are a long way from The Book of Virtues.
In January, following reports that Trump had referred to Haiti and African nations as “shithole countries,” Pastor Robert Jeffress came quickly to his defense. “Apart from the vocabulary attributed to him,” Jeffress wrote, “President Trump is right on target in his sentiment.” After reports emerged that Trump’s lawyer paid hush money to the porn star Stormy Daniels to cover up their alleged sexual encounter, Graham vouched for Trump’s “concern for Christian values.” Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, argued that Trump should be given a “mulligan” for his past infidelity. One can only imagine the explosion of outrage if President Barack Obama had been credibly accused of similar offenses.
The moral convictions of many evangelical leaders have become a function of their partisan identification. This is not mere gullibility; it is utter corruption. Blinded by political tribalism and hatred for their political opponents, these leaders can’t see how they are undermining the causes to which they once dedicated their lives. Little remains of a distinctly Christian public witness.

One of the largest groups that the Liberal bigots hate are the Christians.
But the Left Wing bigots have a special kind of fanatical hatred for the Evangelicals.
The Evangelicals are pretty much the same as all of the other Christian sects on the major moral issues
The Democrat Politicians love to exploit the hatred for them, kind of like how the Naughtzee Party was built around hatred for Jews.
How long are angry lefties going to play the amateur game of trying to split the republican base? That stuff was old back in the 70's. It's obvious that democrats have nothing to offer America except a clown car full of socialist idiots and one actual brain damaged old time politician who spends his time apologizing for his freaking career.

I don't know how detailed polling was in 1932 German, but I'm would think the record shows that Hitler and the National Socialist ticket didn't polls too well with Jewish voters either.
Hitler was an avowed Christian & he was responsible for the near annihilation of the Jewish people.
I heard that God chooses certain folks for His purposes & maybe Hitler was chosen for that purpose; only God knows.
I wonder what God's great plans for the evil Trump are?

Making up a name for someone who is Pro-Life and opposed to Gay Marriage and calling them "Dominionists" and "enemies of the people" just because they oppose Gay Marriage like Obama did in 2012, really isn't a help and seems sort of divisive.

The same people who whine that Christians support politicians that the whiners do not like would scream bloody murder and poop themselves if the same Christians demanded that every politician be vetted by the church before receiving any support from the Christians.
It is amusing to see non-Christians trying to tell Christians for whom they should vote.
Did you bother reading the article? It says much more about those that claim to be Christian in America, and how these people have used the concepts of 'religion' and 'Christianity' to manipulate & use others for political gain.
That is about as shameful as it gets, IMO. 'Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing' certainly comes to mind.
I see those as well as those who use Christianity as a weapon against people of faith. God is bigger than politics.
They're called dominionists. The Christian version of ISIS.
Under Trump, Christian nationalists are playing to win
Wow, beheadings, taking over cities and areas, killing people that oppose them, this is happening today? Got a link?

That has to be one of the most screwed up, racist, prejudiced posts I have ever read. It seethes hatred for a particular religious belief and includes such stupid statements like "And Jesus said to the evangelicals" REALLY? The evangelical churches did not become prominent until the late 20th century. Trump never claimed to be an evangelical but these religious folks obviously chose him above the lying criminal Hillary.
Another stupid fucked up statement: "Yet religious conservatives who once blanched at PG-13 public standards now yawn at such NC-17 maneuvers. We are a long way from The Book of Virtues." REALLY? You actually claim to know the exact thoughts of a group you summarily herded into a group of your own making? Dude, that is fucked up.
Trump was correct, there ARE 'shithole' countries....Go move to one.
Trump paid 'go away' money probably, rich folks (especially men) do that a lot because it's cheaper than going to court and the lying, money grubbing whores normally keep their traps shut UNLESS some political operative promises the more money and fame. As was the case for Daniels. BTW even IF transgressions are true, no Christian would turn their backs. That is the nature of Judeo/Christian morals and values.
The OP obviously has shed all pretense of even having a strong set of morals and values by slandering another person and a whole segment of religious belief.

The point the post is a critique of the souls of evangelicals simply based on their political beliefs. This type of bigotry was typical Nazi propaganda back in the 30's. Apparently the modern left makes no claim about having a soul so they are immune from criticism in that respect while they threaten the President with everything from assault to murder and club and beat and assault conservatives for wearing a freaking hat.
