As a former born-and-raised Evangelical it's just as frustrating how the religious right claimed Trump as their savior. He is literally the embodiment of everything evil we were taught to reject. But American Christianity is inseparable & indistinguishable from Cons politics now.

I mean I don't share their values at all and yet I'm still seething at how easily they abandoned them Partly because the hypocrisy is obviously selective, like they're not going to stop shaming divorcees in their own congregations after "forgiving" Trump

I mean good Lord In the New Testament it goes on about how corrupt and decadent Herod Antipas was and how John the Baptist prophesied that his open, shameless adultery would bring God's judgment on him and the destruction of his kingdom

I've seen former church acquaintances/their friends compare Trump to King David who "was an imperfect vessel" that God used. Lots of that kind of argument. All many evangelicals care about is abortion though, and the "sanctity" of [hetero] marriage. Ends justifies means for them.
