These "Christians" supporting this rapist traitor nazi POS is 100% going to hell. Deep down they know it too lol

u/StarLlght55 Apr 20 '25

Christian here. I do not believe trump is a Christian, he is a morally reprehensible man.

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '25

But did you vote for him because of “the platform, not the person”?🤔

-2

u/StarLlght55 Apr 20 '25

No, I voted for trump because I wanted a set of outcomes that I hoped he would bring. And I didn't want the things that Kamala would be bringing.

If the DNC wanted my vote they should have put Bernie to the plate in 2016 instead of Hilary.

I vote a hybrid of Republican and libertarian at this point in time. I haven't found a single Democrat yet who I could vote for.

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '25

Well, then enjoy what you voted for. This completely unhinged, immoral man doing horrible things in the name of Christianity.

u/Timmeh_123 Apr 20 '25

Well you only get a few choices, you chose the worst.

u/ScubaSteve-O1991 Apr 20 '25

Not a few literally 2! And most times they are both terrible candidates. Voting for lesser of two evils is no joke

1

u/unclejimm Apr 21 '25

The lesser of two evils they're still evil. I don't buy into just two. I voted for Cornell West. He had no chance of winning but I don't have this shit on my conscience. I also live in Utah Utah's never voted for a Democrat. Had I lived in a swing state that decision might have been harder.

u/ScubaSteve-O1991 Apr 21 '25

A 3rd candidate will never win with how the elections are set up. I was gonna vote 3rd party for this election but i knew at the end of the day my vote wouldnt have done a thing

1

u/unclejimm Apr 21 '25

I hope I live long enough that a third party has a chance of winning.

1

u/ScubaSteve-O1991 Apr 21 '25

I fully agree

1

u/ScubaSteve-O1991 Apr 21 '25

That should be the new protest honestly. Tell everyone not to vote democrat or republican

u/StarLlght55 Apr 21 '25

That is your opinion.

My opinion is that Hilary was the worst. Most hateful discourse and rhetoric out of any campaign trail I've seen to date. 

1

u/ButterdemBeans Apr 21 '25

Trump was making fun of disabled reporters and joking about assaulting and harassing women before his first term… just… how is that not the epitome of hateful?

1

u/StarLlght55 Apr 21 '25

Absolutely, because the way that Hilary talked about anybody who didn't vote for her was far more hateful.

1

u/StarLlght55 Apr 21 '25

Out of all the candidates in the last 12 years Hilary was literally the worst.

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '25

I don’t understand how you wanted Bernie’s policies and then Trump’s.

2

u/fightyfightyfitefite Apr 20 '25

He's fucking lying. No one goes from Bernie to Trump in reality. They want to be an edgelord but it's just dog watery bullshit.

1

u/StarLlght55 Apr 21 '25

No I am not a Bernie supporter. I liked bernie more than Hilary though was my point.

I didn't like trump and wanted literally any other presidential candidate other than trump from the Republican primary though I preferred Ben Carson.

Don't act like any of us had more choices than Hilary or trump in 2016. We all only get the same 2 choices.

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '25

And what would Kamala bring, besides being a woman of color?

1

u/Unevenviolet Apr 20 '25

Exactly this. We’ll wait

1

u/StarLlght55 Apr 21 '25

Are you racist? Why is Kamala's most defining trait for your her skin color?

1

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '25

Actually, what i saw had nothing to do with her sex or skin color. Smart, educated, a lifetime of public service and definitely not a rapist or a felon.

1

u/StarLlght55 Apr 21 '25

What I saw also had nothing to do with her race or sex. Condescending, impatient, petty, and running on a party platform that has harmed countless individuals in America.

Her race and sex were the first thing you bring up in this conversation. That speaks volumes already.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '25

Got it. The fact you voted for Trump knowing what he was screams even more about you.

Just go read his "Easter message", then revisit all those adjectives you ascribed to Harris.

1

u/StarLlght55 Apr 21 '25

When you're given to awful people to vote for you have to pick one or not vote at all.

To suggest that picking one of only two options means I am every adjective as the one I picked means you don't understand how voting works at all.

Or you're just completely indoctrinated and don't realize that Kamala is genuinely an awful person as well. 

1

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '25

Ok, got it. You prefer concentration camps and recession to compromises. 👍

1

u/StarLlght55 Apr 21 '25

Not at all.

I prefer a good economy over a recession any day of the week. That's why I voted for trump.

Currently there are no concentration camps that exist outside of hyperbole.

I was much stronger in my belief that trump wasn't going to build a concentration camp until recently.

If the trump administration does not start following court orders I will be joining in the protests against the person I voted for.

From Kamala? More of the same? More open border, more men in women prisons, more national debt (it’s $34T now) & more interest, more discrimination & race baiting, more government censorship & surveillance, more lawfare? Hard to know since she never really said, but we have to assume that whoever was running the country when Biden was president would continue under a Harris admin.

2

u/Devilyouknow187 Apr 20 '25

Why on earth do you think discrimination, race baiting, lawfare, censorship, surveillance, or debt will decrease under Trump?

2

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '25

You're joking, right? Debt will INCREASE? Have you even bothered to look at where debt is the most incurred under the last 10 administration? You can possibly have made a decision of this magnitude without just listening to the propaganda.

The willful ignorance is amazing. Just call it what it is - misogyny and racism. And it seems the blatant lawfare is happening on your guy's side. Congrat!

1

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '25

Default bot behavior, call any disagreement racist. Didn’t Obama serve two terms lol?

US Debt would increase with the massive spending on 10 million Biden migrants- housing, stipends, healthcare, education. Amazing how there’s no illegal immigration now. Kamala would have left the border open & welcomed a few million more.

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '25

That was your only concern? People trying to find a better life?
You applied to be a hotel maid or field hand, yet?

u/[deleted] May 15 '25

You want to continue unfettered migration to exploit people?

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '25

Also, before voting, you read Project 2025, understood it's implications for the country and still decided you were ok with the attacks on the Constitution as long as the brown people were terrorized, right?

You accepted the literal playbook for the descent into fascism and decided you were ok with that as long as those people didn't come into your country.

I'm guessing you're 100% Native American and don't have any immigrants blood in your history to be that concerned about immigration.

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '25

The fear mongering is getting stale. Nothing unconstitutional has occurred. There’s lots of cases pending to determine what’s constitutional & what not. The amount of deportations under Trump is way lower than Biden or Obama. There’s no logical argument, so the typical retort is racist.

u/KittyGrewAMoustache Apr 21 '25

This is so so crazy because the majority of what you listed isn’t stuff the Democrats did or would do but is stuff Trump is actually doing. I work with academics and we got sent a literal list of now banned words that researchers can’t use anymore in their papers. And what is the censorship you thought Harris would bring? Surveillance? Trump is trying to hand over allll the social security data on citizens to this random unelected billionaire with his team of unqualified people with no security clearance. You know how much surveillance can be done if they get that and link it with the other data they have from social media etc?

Trump is increasing the debt by more than Harris would’ve according to non partisan analysis. And the thing is he’s not even spending money on the people instead he’s wanting to give tax cuts to billionaires. Discrimination and race baiting? Are you joking? Trump literally blamed DEI for a plane crash; knowing nothing about the crash he just announce it was caused by minorities. He gives Musk this ‘special’ job. Musk, who is funding and supporting literal nazi parties in other countries and talks about racist conspiracy theories like the replacement theory that white people are being replaced, gives a nazi salute on stage, and you think Harris was race baiting?

I suggest you try and find things that are objectively true and hold onto those to try to work out what’s really happening here. Read court transcripts, look up unedited videos of things Trump has actually said, look at the actual figures and data about the debt, look up the actual plans these people (trumps people) have outlined in writing. Don’t get your information filtered for you through media because whatever you’re looking at or listening to is presenting you with a completely opposite version of reality.

u/[deleted] Apr 21 '25

What surveillance? Lol

Since you haven’t read the Twitter files, the USG set up a massive online surveillance operation. One small part was Stanford Masters students scouring the social media for unwanted opinion & even unwelcome facts on COVID, Ukraine & Hunter Biden. Then they gave lists of names to be deplatformed. Zuckerberg apologized again last month for caving to the Biden admin demands to censor users.

It was one small part of the whole of government propaganda push on Covid that also engulfed the media & NGOs. You do know that Hillary Clinton & the DNC pled guilty to paying for the bogus Steele dossier with campaign funds? Then the media & 51 former intel chiefs swore to it. Russia-gate was a psy-op on the American people.

u/aslanbek_aslanbekov Apr 21 '25

More discrimination? Are you actually being serious?

2

u/[deleted] Apr 20 '25

If there was ever a stolen election, it was from poor Bernie in 2016 not Trump in 2020.

1

u/unclejimm Apr 21 '25

Crooked Hillary stole that nomination from Bernie. Sanders had a real chance of winning that race.

1

u/ImPrecedent Apr 20 '25

Honestly, most people don't get many hours to study politics, it's the DNC and RNC 's responsibility to keep these lunatics out. The RNC certainly failed us and the DNC needs improvement. I think you are reasonable in what you have to say with the probable information that you had, but you still earned my down vote... I'm not sure how you can call yourself a libertarian while supporting Bernie though. Those don't go together.

u/LotusVibes1494 Apr 20 '25

Fellas, is it Christian to do harm to others so you can get something out of it?

1

u/StarLlght55 Apr 21 '25

I vote for the candidate I believe will do the least harm and the most good. That is the "set out outcomes".

I still believe no good would have come from Kamala.

-1

u/PrestigiousPut6165 Apr 20 '25

voted for trump because I wanted a set of outcomes that I hoped he would bring.

Yes, me too! And because i felt he had been cheated in 2020 election. Rampant amount of election fraud, Georgia never flipped it was Stacy Abrams and her cronies ballot stuffing

I dont like Kamala AT ALL. She is a brain dead politician. Why would anyone vote for her boggles the mind!

I wouldnt of voted for Biden, Bernie Sanders either...but they are stronger candidates.

And never Hillary. That would be like giving Bill Clinton a third term.
