In reply to the discussion: I don't understand how some of the most religious people I know voted for Trump. [View all]SDJay
(1,089 posts)Freedom of religion means that there are some pretty screwed up religions out there that teach pretty fucked up things in terms of so-called values. Now we see them directly applied to what is supposed to be democracy.
Misogyny, racism, the hatred of poor people, xenophobia... you know, all those things that Jesus taught in the bible. Wait, what? Oh yeah, nevermind. Republican Jesus was a great Murcan. He was so great that his message is actually the opposite of what billions of people have read over the centuries. His message can only be told by rich 'pastors' stealing from rubes.
I digress, but the point is these 'Christians' voted for Trump because they are sexist assholes. I'm not talking about your friends, but folks in general. They just 'endured' - and they probably compared themselves to the Jews spending 40 years in the desert - a black guy as POTUS. Do you think for one second that Republican Jesus would stand for a woman following him?
Forget about the fact that Drumpf is a fucking scumbag on every level - we can redeem him, fellow fans of Republican Jesus! And if not, we'll just pretend these things about him don't exist - it's not as if we're not used to creating our own reality - we've been doing that our whole lives!
