    I have family that believe trump is necessary for Christianity to win and that I and my step-siblings are only safe because they are intervening for us. This is in central Ohio from evangelicals.

      Now ask them if Christianity winning means purposefully bringing upon the end times.

        The thought previously crossed my mind, but I don’t think that’s what they’re going for and don’t want to put any more strain on that relationship (people are more likely to be un-radicalized when family don’t just pretend they no longer exist and I’d rather not create more conflict without a clear purpose and push them further into extremism).

    I’ve been waiting for some big Christian group to come out against him for years and I’m thrilled it’s finally happening.

    Unfortunately the ad itself was a bit disappointing…not quite as brutal as the title would have you believe

      Yeah, nothing brutal about Trump being Trump and then some Bible quote. Every single quote in the good book is against someone like Trump.

        They should have put the relevant quotes about the antichrist under each video of him exhibiting said characteristic

    On the one hand I really don’t want their support or misguided views and priorities distracting or pushing Harris off course.

    On the other hand fracturing a significant slice of the conservative base into not voting or voting against Trump would be delicious, especially if it meant more congressional and state seats to go blue because of it.

    I was raised religious and boy oh boy, let me tell ya, this guy ticks off so many checkboxes is not even a competition. Peak false prophet/antichrist criteria.

    Dude is a spot on representation of their antichrist. Not that trump is anything other than a pathetic dipshit.

    If flying sky-daddy existed the orange gibbon would not. Ergo, in place of a Supreme being we get Mr. Cheeto.

    It’s a good thing I guess but a ‘prophet’? Is that what these people believe? He’s a dangerous, sleazy grifter. Always has been, always will be.

      The point of a “false prophet” is that they claim to speak for/act in the name of God for their own (evil) ends. False prophets are the highest tier of grifter in a religious context.

        I know what you’re saying but I truly can’t truly understand their way of thinking. I guess it’s the brainwashing they get starting at like age 1.

          We are all the products of the universe that created us. To understand them you have to first understand yourself, why you believe what you believe, and then understand that they lived a life that furnished them with their beliefs. But that will only get you halfway, as you will begin to understand them but that does not extend both ways; they will still not understand you. That will take considerably more effort.

    This is more on the right track for how to de-cult people like Trump. Need more anti-Trump conspiracy theories and weirdo prophecies to get through to the crazies.

      Every country has their 10% crazies. You don’t need their votes to govern. Please focus on the 90% with good policy instead of normalizing idiot conspiracy theories.

        I’ve heard it’s 30% so it should be the same. Except in the US only 50-60 percent of people vote so suddenly it is an issue.

        What if those 90% split into 45% and 45%? Then you need those 10% crazies to govern.

    He’s one of the horses that the 4 horsemen are riding. And he’s jumping the republicans as hard and fast as he can. It’s not how long you make it, is how you make it long. Unfortunately for him, he’s basically flat and smooth down there. One would get more pleasure from someone rubbing a pimple between their republican butts. Meanwhile the true horseman has made their move invisibly. But the move is visible, we have judges who don’t have our backs, we have laws that diminished the Rights of women, LGBTQA and other minorities. Where’s the horseman? We know where trump is but he’s so dumb he couldn’t plan breakfast, much less cause laws.
