      It’s a combination of factors, racism, ignorance, religious extremism, and fear. All in massive doses where the symptoms appear much like an endemic of mental illness.
      It affects ~40% of the American population which is a massive number of people.
      They are “gifted” with nothing other than their fear and ignorance. They are sick.

    2. @Jim Battersbee
      i Never Forget Bannon!
      You want to keep that p.o.s. where you can keep an eye on him.

    3. @Jim Battersbee
      Dont forget… lowering wages, two tiered justice system, two tiered education system,
      Life long debt.
      Non existent healthcare system.

  1. It’s no surprise white evangelicals still support/support him more. These same people are just as corrupt and immoral.

    1. Thomas Armsworthy Jr What a ridiculous statement. Are you kidding me, or just having a pathetic shot at demeaning the greatest president in living memory?

    2. @Thomas Armsworthy Jr is a f’n buffoon. We’ve seen both the short and long form birth certificates and college transcripts mean f’all (haven’t seen the Mango Mussolini’s either). Go hump a flag, Trumplodyte fool.

    1. the irony of the whole thing is, when the settlers came this land, most of them were fleeing religious persecution… then they turned right around and made laws saying EVERYONE had to go church etc. they didn’t want religious freedom – they wanted religious autonomy.

    1. @judith coleman no one lies, cheats, bares false witness, or self deludes, like an evangelical Christian.

    2. @dru jackson religion is for stupid people and only stupid people would think switching to another religion is an option.
      Evangelicals, Muslims, Buddhist, Hebrews, Scientologist, branch davidians, heavens gate, om shin rykyo, all of you can *GOBBLE MY HOG*, while i sleep in on sundays.

  2. They’ve been screaming about different people being the anti christ and when he does show up, their all in ready to be marked.

    1. @Paying Attention for people who dont believe in god and are antichristian yall sure cheery pick the bible that fits your narrative

    2. @bruce cockinson the bible says …
      _”Lo for he cometh from the land of eternal cold, and his skin shall be the shade of bones that layeth in the desert, his hair shall be liken unto a golden mane, and his fingers shall take of all the gold of all the land as far as east of the land of the maconites.”_
      _Hebrews 35;15_
      Conclusive proof the Antichrist is a white male.

    1. @Source Fractal OOTB Read who is party, 100,000 who are pure and have not laid with a woman – guess they will be gays

  3. Of course they’re not leaving djt;🤔 he represents their deep-seated racism, superiority complex, their desire to be lawless, their selfishness over the well-being of earth and mankind, their prejudices, their criminality (many with criminal records), their abuses (sexual and physical), their immoralities, their disdain for peacelovers, their perversities, and their desire to continue feeding their hate😠 with his encouragement (rhetoric)! He represents all the atrocities they proudly embody.😔🇺🇸

    1. @smitty 6 Yeah, but they’ve rigged the courts (Do what I want & Get out of Jail Free Cards) for next nearly half century.

    1. @bruce cockinson Not exactly a “model business,” Trump Model Management is closing amid increased scrutiny of its relationships with teenage models, immigration law, labor laws and human trafficking.
      Donald J. Trump owns 85% of Trump Model Management. He founded the agency in 1999. In April 2017 his financial partners were informed that the Trump modeling agency would be closing. This was purportedly to allow for a deeper focus on golf and Trump hotels — but Trump Watchdogs suspect that the closure relates to questions about Trump Model Management having violated a wide range of laws.

      New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is apparently launching a formal investigation into the Trump modeling agency. Former White House staffer Claude Taylor reported Sunday on Twitter that Schneiderman’s investigation involves the high-level Russian prosecutor Yuri Chaika, who is allied with Vladimir Putin and specializes in collecting and wielding kompromat (compromising material) about political adversaries.

      Some key takeaways from this article: Donald Trump appears hypocritical for complaining about illegal immigration. Also, teenagers who are lured to the US to become models — but are coached by agencies to arrive without legal permission to work here — are vulnerable to businessmen’s abusive fantasies.

  4. I’d be shocked if any of these people have actually read the Bible instead of just believing what some pastor tells them it says.

    1. _“The study of theology, as it stands in Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authorities; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion…and as this is the case with Christian theology, it is therefore the study of nothing.”_
      *― Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason (1794)*

    2. @SheilaghmBrosky Brosky wait…Jesus wasnt IN the Old Testament…anywhere ..so ….wow those people are messed up

    3. I’d be shocked, nay amazed, if 1-in-10 can actually read. Not sure their precious leader can. Just sayin’. Chosen One cookie, anyone?

  5. Exactly what bible are these Evangelicals reading? The one where Jesus says “Gain as much wealth for yourself, and forget every lesson I ever taught?” 🤔

    1. There is a hilarious video with an evangelical woman titled “Breaking up with Jesus”. I like talking to you Jesus but I don’t want to listen to you any more.

    2. You can twist the Bible around to support anything you want, especially when you rewrite as they did with Tofield so wrong sorry.

    1. Your blind if u believe liberal media.. Lmao!! Cant believe so many people still give this pathetic network props after deceiving you for yrs about russia collusion. How did that turn out buddy? 😂😂

    1. this has nothing to do with anyones IQ. Bad judgement, poor knowledge or self interest. This video should make people sad of our positions in life.

    1. The most important part of “White Evangelicals” is the WHITE part. They are racists and white nationalists. It an important part of their religion and culture. The southern baptists who split from the northern baptists over the issue of slavery are evangelical. The klansmen who were burning crosses and torturing and killing Black people are evangelical. They were pro- abortion when they thought mostly Black babies would die, now they are against it because they think abortion is ‘white genocide’. Their churches are racially homogenous with only white people because they didnt want Black people in their church. They supported segregation and said it was against their religion to allow intermarriage. When they adopt children of colour, its because they feel they need to civilize and indoctrinate them.They can always find a religious validation of their racist positions because they dont believe in the supremacy of God, they believe in White supremacy. They support positions that are anti Christ’s teachings and they have found the antichrist Trump to lead them.

  6. A wise christian: “What would Jesus do?”

    Me: Definitely not what his “followers” are doing… 😒

    1. @Von – I speak for the 99% of evangelical Christians who know that Trump is the retur of Christ.;

      The rest are the children of Lucifer.

    2. @Thomasina Byrd truth.
      But they devotedly seem to Believe they are… which they are not.
      Sad but true.

    1. False idol? Dont u people have real issues against trump.. Just name calling and stupid comments. Name one crime he has fone? But give me proof not speculation

    1. And almost gleefully willing to do *evil* in order to “protect” themselves from what and who they fear.  

      I’ve got a new name for White Evangelical Conservatives:
      *_Christians against the teachings of Jesus Christ._*
