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

The Christians don't seem to have much motivation to draw historical parallels anymore, the way they used to when Bill Clinton was President It's weird

My galaxy brain take would be the same on this as it is on evangelical Zionism. Its another step to the end but they cant say that out loud because that'd be crazy

I don't doubt quite a few evangelicals are consciously trying to bring about the end times, but I think for most of them the accelerationist millenarian stuff is more of a mood than a conscious agenda

This shitty unexamined attitude they walk around with all "It doesn't actually matter what the material consequences of my actions are because I'm secure in my salvation and will go to Heaven when I die" Not THAT different from Trump really
