Nah. It's not hard to understand why the church got behind Trump. People are inherently irrational. They always have been. They are comfortable around people that say things they agree with and I'm not talking about Christians agreeing with Trump. Jerry Falwell Jr. came out in support of Trump. When that happened, the Christian community felt more comfortable with the idea of supporting Trump. Remember, Trump was trailing by a pretty large margin in the primaries before Falwell's endorsement. People never stopped to think, "hey, there's something wrong with this picture." The guy cheated on his pregnant wife. He refused to pay contracted workers and then would file bankruptcy. And when asked about it, his response would be "I'm taking advantage of the laws as written." He has always been a scumbag.
The irony of it all was that Clinton was considered the worst man to ever enter the office by the Christian community because he got a consensual BJ, but yet they were able to justify in their mind voting for Trump. It's also ironic that since Falwell's fall, it has come out that he was a cuck and never supported his father's church despite being the head of the school for years. His wife also would sleep with Liberty students in their house with her kids in another room. Weird!
While I am a Christian, I have zero respect for the church. Because most people choose not to think for themselves, the church exploits this for power. They have for atleast the past 1800 years.
You see the denial of reality from both sides of the political spectrum. The LGBTQIA+ issue is a great example on the left. Approximately 20% of Americans now consider themselves part of this community. I would wager that the number is close to 0% of conservatives identify with this. So, that means 2 out of every 5 liberals now do. Really? I'm not buying it. Social issues have become the left's religion and the people in power use it to control the masses. With traditional religion, you are not allowed to question the teachings. You see the same thing with the religion of social justice.
