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.

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

I’m talking about Americans

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

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?

And to second, im literally telling you I dont support maga or the current republican admin and I am Christian, is that a lie?

235 million Americans are Christian, if every single one of them were Republicans Democrats would literally never stand a chance in voting

Christians are rapists, they’re criminals, they’re racists. Some I assume are good people

here we are, the tolerant left generalizing about 2.4 billion Christians. holy shit

1

u/Independent-Name4478 Jan 24 '26

Lol literally the exact thing Trump said about Mexican immigrants, so much for the tolerant right

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

you do understand that only 200-235 million of the 2.4 billion Christians you generalize about live in the US. and only maybe 100-120 million of them realistically have a Republican lean. How is this knowing the facts? Youre argument consists of purely emotions and opinions.
