Sigh. In raw electoral calculus, Trump (and Pence, if he succeeds Trump) NEED the racist, xenophobe vote. They simply do. So not only will they cater to it, they'll seek to expand that vote by fomenting more controversy. They're going to beat the bushes for every damned racist.
Disgusting. Remember when people believed this guy's Christian shtick?https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/991448021169852417 …

Agree. All the more reason to call out the ways it undermines their other brands, especially Pence's.
-
Absolutely. Loudly. But it doesn't seem the dissonance between 'racist' and 'Evangelical' bothers any of them.
-
Perhaps because there isn't a dissonance? You might find this an interesting read:https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2018/4/30/17301282/race-evangelicals-trump-support-gerson-atlantic-sexism-segregation-south …

American Christianity has deep, deep ties to racismhttp://www.patheos.com/blogs/daylightatheism/2016/08/the-white-supremacist-roots-of-evangelicalism/ …

@VP has always been a faux Xtian. This is just another action that confirms it. -
One of the very few things I will give Andrew Sullivan credit for is coining (or at least popularizing) the term Christianist. It well describes folks like Pence.
-
I hadn't heard that term. Makes sense but isn't as colorful as faux Xtians ;-)

As I've said in the past. Trump wasn't elected in spite of his racism but because of his racism. Pence is Trump's key accomplice in this.

He’s “Christian” the same way I’m “on a diet.”

Sorry, but nope. I never believed him. His brand of Christianity is based on hate and squashing the poor, and that's the exact opposite of the Jesus I know about.

He always looked creepy to me. Clearly, he is! What a horror he is.

Being dull and meeping about Jesus doesn't make you a Christian.

"Christian" out of mouth of GOP politicos or their FAUXNews inculcated flock is short form for "Got mine, FU" or "I'm White as
and entitled as fuck".
Nothing against spiritual beliefs but abhor their use as tools of meanness & subjugation.
Pence is a cultist, not an XtianThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Didn’t we all write him off as a brain dead zealot the minute we learned he believes you should electrocute the gay out of people?
