2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I don't understand how some of the most religious people I know voted for Trump. [View all]OriginalGeek
(12,132 posts)24. I was told by a religious nut-job I know
(I mean, Alex Jones, Conspiracy theory believing, these are the end times, apocalypse and Jesus' return will happen in our lifetime nut job) that Hillary is evil. He completely believes it. He loves Trump. For now. Haven't talked to him since Trump started backpedaling on lock her up talk.
But whatever he thinks of Trump's indiscretions (and I am pretty sure he is of the "Men can do what they want" camp since women are supposed to be subservient to men) it doesn't matter as Hillary is evil and that trumps philandering and lying.

Obviously Trump is Satan and has fooled them into voting for him, hence their confusion.
