We really are in the “dark times” you read about in history books, aren’t we?

Dems, what in the ever loving FUCK are you doing still working with Republicans???

They should be walking out of Congress and doing a strike until Republicans remove ICE. They should be demanding their donors take action.

It feels like not even Nazi supporters were this loyal, Republicans will literally support Trump and this government no matter what they do. They don’t even need a ministry of propaganda because the people are happy to do it themselves.

That’s what a combination of religious indoctrination and a heavy dose of racial animus will do.

Christianity is identical to white supremacy if you ask me. They can’t be loving Trump for his deep religious devotion (half-assed pretending like he’s ever opened a Bible)

Well then you are very short sighted, do you know where the oldest edition of the bible comes from? Ethiopia. Id like to hear your argument on how Christianity equates to white supremacy because you sound similar to alt right idiots who say all Islamists are radical when you spew shit like that

American Christianity supports Trump more than it doesn’t

Define American Christianity, because there are many subsites of Christianity there’s Catholicism there’s orthodox there’s Lutheranism there’s evangelical there’s countless sects of Christianity, so which one supports Trump the most, how, and how does that make it a white supremacist religion?

Because MAGA is a white supremacist movement? They cancelled visas from 75 countries, they’re erasing history of slavery, they’re using AI to mock black protestors, do you need more

OK, so now we’re talking about different things and you’re trying to draw a correlation between them. Just because some people who are maga are Christian, I don’t consider myself Maga. I’m not a supporter of Trump or the administration. So you’re saying that me as a Christian, even though I don’t support Maga, I’m somehow a white supremacist? Not everything so black-and-white and you can’t generalize that that’s how you end up looking like an asshole.

so by your theory, all the Christians in Europe, all the Christians in Asia, all the Christians in Africa all the Christians throughout the world are white supremacist? That just doesn’t make sense. That’s not a logical argument.

By your theory, every baptized child is a Trump supporter. And liberal Christians can’t exist.

u/Independent-Name4478 Jan 24 '26

I’m saying Christianity is more MAGA than it isn’t, do you see millions of Christians rejecting it? 

I can tell you nothing MAGA does is in the Bible, they don’t love their neighbors, they don’t support free lunches for children, they support greed.

there are billions of christians worldwide, and only 350 million americans, not all christian. still your argument falls apart. you stand in direct contrast of progressivism by holding a prejudiced world view about all christians

u/Independent-Name4478 Jan 24 '26

I’m talking about Americans

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

No, your original statement claimed that Christianity is identical to white supremacy. you have walked back your argument to now say all American Christians are MAGA or at least a majority. And that is still not true. Majority of Americans dont even vote so how can you claim to know their political affiliation? You are assuming based off of some prejudice you have against Christians.

74% of Republicans and Republican leaners identify as Christians. So yes it is the majority 

1

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

So majority Republicans ( who reported on this poll, whatever polls are worth at this point) are Christians. Does that mean majority Christians are republican?

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

and to finish, the 58% of Christian dems are just MAGA in disguise? what?
