No followers of Christ support Trump. It's that simple, and there's no exceptions.
I'm sick of this dumbass idea that Christianity and conservatism go hand in hand when conservatism flies in the face of the things that CHRIST HIMSELF told us to do.
Watching the Christians who raised me to be good, kind, generous, loving, accepting, a Good Samaritan, and to follow the example of Christ, then turn their back on all of that in order to worship a childish, selfish, greedy, born-rich scam artist backstabber, adulterer, traitor, pathetic rapist bully pseudonazi dictator-wannabe fraudster, and to consistently vote in people who
- PROMISE to cut food for the poor, who
- PROMISE to do nothing to solve homelessness in America, who
- PROMISE to do nothing for our sick, our disabled, our elderly, who
- PROMISE not to feed our children, who
- PROMISE to force millions of families out of their homes, who
- PROMISE to be crueler, more violent, and more murderous in policing, in prisons, in warfare.
(be sure to read to the bottom the hear Jesus Christ tell you about how you're supposed to help all those people.)
Putting people in power who continually get richer as we get poorer, who hoard medicine while we get sicker, who parade around wearing Jesus as a costume and praying in public spaces as political theater; hiding stacks of money in the walls of their megachurches, Mr. Joel Osteen; it's so fucking shameful I don't have the words for it. If I was a kid and I acted the way these people do, treated others the way they treat others, I would have had my ass whooped. Because I was raised better. But I guess if I was running for president at the time, I might have gotten a few votes instead.
And of course if you talk to these people their reasons are all selfish. "Gas costs more because Biden did that." Did he push a big green button that said Gas Cost More? "He wants us paying more taxes!!" (even though you're not in those brackets) "Yeah that party likes trans people and I hate that cuz I actually really care about high school sports if it means I can hate those fuckin' queers at the same time."
All about your comfort and never once about the safety and security of your kids, your daughters, your elders, the vulnerable members of your community, the environment you live in, the air you breathe (worse after Trump's deregulations), or the water you drink (worse after Trump's deregulations), or even the food you eat (multiple deadly listeria and e.coli outbreaks after Trump lobotomized the FDA).
Not a single concern for anyone that isn't them and their own little picture of American Heaven, where my wallet's full, my gas is cheap, but our lives are even cheaper.
It's been difficult accepting that people I once looked up to let their souls get twisted and defiled because they trusted a man who lives in a giant golden tower with his name on it to understand the plight of the everyday American or the teachings of Christ. A man that JESUS HIMSELF said would NEVER make it into heaven, just like all the other rich men.
Jesus drove these greedy bastards from the temple with a fucking WHIP for Christ's sake. Because this is who they are; cruel, selfish, greedy, wrathful, lustful, gluttonous, and worst of all, they pretend to be holy while doing it, despite having launched their own bible with American politics inserted into it.
They edited the BIBLE and you "Christians" still voted for him. They'd print MAGA on the Shroud of Turin if they got the chance.
It's been difficult reconciling that the people who taught me Revelation have been so thoroughly taken in by an Antichrist.
They warned you that fascism would come to America wrapped in a flag and toting a bible. Good job, you welcomed it with open arms. With your own special fascist flags and your own special fascist Bibles.
You abandoned democracy and you abandoned America, because you wouldn't abandon your own twisted hate-cult offshoot of real, loving, forgiving, merciful Christianity.
You have debased your soul, you have rendered yourself lesser, you have become crueler, quick to spot the sawdust in others' eyes but never looking at the plank in your own, less focused on God's love and more focused on being a self appointed Judge, more interested in finding targets of God's wrath than showing them that God is the Way, the Truth, and the Light.
But God's judgement is fair. And for many of you that should be a terrifying thought.

Matthew 7:21-23 True and False Disciples
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’
23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Isaiah 1:15 A Rebellious Nation
15 When you spread out your hands in prayer,
I hide my eyes from you;
even when you offer many prayers,
I am not listening.
Your hands are full of blood!
16 Wash and make yourselves clean.
Take your evil deeds out of my sight;
stop doing wrong.
17 Learn to do right; seek justice.
Defend the oppressed.
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
plead the case of the widow.

Leviticus 19:34 Various Laws
The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

Luke 6:32-36 Love for Enemies
27 “But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Matthew 25:31-46 The Sheep and the Goats
31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’
37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
