The Trump Sect of Christianity

What is Trumpist Christianity?

Is this a new religion where our President has divine power and can even pardon Navy SEAL Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher for his war crimes in the name of Jesus?

Trump Prays.  Recently at Mar a Lago, Trump showed his sense of humor about Blacks and Jews.  Looking out the window at Christmas, the President said he saw Secret Service agents in blackface.  “So maybe we have to take them away.” Ha ha ha, gosh, it sure is funny comparing Secret Service agents wearing dark masks with racist wearing blackface At the same event, Trump celebrated his support for Israel’s far right government.  He “said he didn’t understand how any Jew could vote for a Democrat these days,” Hilarious, since 79 percent of Jewish people voted for Democrats in 2018 and Jews are not supportive of Trumps’s idea of an Israel subject to Muhammad ben Salman, the murderous price of Saudi Arabia.  Of course, Trump’s idea of who is and is not a Jew may have something to do with his close relationship to ministers from the Jews for Jesus.

The peculiar American form of Jesus worship is not new to Trump.  Andrew Jackson another brutal murderer and slaveholder, came to power in large part on a wave of evangelical Christian reaction to the theism and atheism of the founders.  Mr. Jackson would surely never have been comfortable debating Ben Franklin about God or Tom Jefferson about the rights of man. Under Jackson’s Spiritual guidance we invaded Mexico and STILE Florida, Texas and California while killing genocidal numbers pf Indians.  PRAISE THE LORD!

Even after the civil war, Ulysses S Grant announced the forced conversion and internment of indigenous peoples as a Christian duty.  And the same good evangelicals fought for the sanctity of slaveholder ownership of the land in the conquered South.  No reparations for the freed niggers!  The KKK raised its burning cross to protect the god given rights of white men.  Praise the Lord and redistribute the stolen land to good followers of Jesus!

Fox began the current war to protect the season of Christmas from those who would confine baby Jesus to the church yard and front lawns.  Fox won.  The evil atheists have been displaced with godly men who know that the founders were inspired by God and that Trump is God’s agent on earth. MERRY CHRISTMAS Y’AWL!

Trump’s fervent apostles may  comprise only 30% of the American electorate but that is enough to take over the GOP..  Under his leadership, the evangelicals have managed to fill the federal courts with devotees whose legal qualifications at best come second to beliefs about who God is and what role HE has in our government.  We have become used to the Trumpettes shoving fellow conservatives, even unqualified ones, to lifetime appointments on the federal bench.

These now robed devotees fill the bench with judges who see their version of the religion of Jesus as a basis for kicking people out of the military and redefining the first amendment to protect their rights to discriminate in areas as diverse as wedding cakes and healthcare.  They may even decide Trump, as the agent of God, can not be convicted merely for breaking man’s laws.

All of these ends justify the means because the Trumpettes know that without Fox and without Trump. the freedom of the evangelicals would be destroyed by the atheists who dominate our schools and media. The WAPO reports that Professor Paul A. Djupe and Professor Ryan P. Burge recently found from a poll that white evangelical Christians sincerely believe atheists would strip away their rights if given the chance

Of those white evangelical Protestants, we found that 60 percent believed that atheists would not allow them First Amendment rights and liberties. More specifically, we asked whether they believed atheists would prevent them from being able to “hold rallies, teach, speak freely, and run for public office.” Similarly, 58 percent believed “Democrats in Congress” would not allow them to exercise these liberties if they were in power. By contrast, 23 percent think “Republicans in Congress” would not respect their rights; those were primarily the views of a small contingent of white evangelical Democrats in the sample.

Then respondents were asked whether their selected group should be allowed to give speeches in the community, teach in public schools, run for public office and other liberties.  Only 30 percent are willing to allow their disliked group three or more such activities.

    The article misses one point, That point is Christians vote in American elections. Obviously Andrew Jackson got it and he was the father of the populist Democratic party. He sorta invented American party politics. While America is not a Cristian nation for much of our history you had to be Cristian to be elected or even to run in large swaths of the United States.
    The Democratic party has turned its back to a large segment of the American population. This has consequences in the voting booth whether you agree with those Christians or not. You cannot feed them to the lions. No not even to the Lions in Detroit.
    Of course if Israeli Jews could vote in the upcoming 2020 election as a separate state then Trump would get those electoral votes.

    Not quite. The Trumpist in Israel are a minority as they are in the US.
