I will get back to more facts and date soon, but these questions are still driving me CRAZY. How could a good Christians vote for Trump? And how will they explain it at the pearly gates?
"Voters, we are told, were upset about inflation, the border, and about “woke” politics.
But they were, apparently, not bothered by Trump’s crimes, his incoherent economic plans, his appeasement of Vladamir Putin, his embrace of a “rough hour” of police brutality, or the Great Replacement theory. Nor were they put off by Trump’s empowerment of an anti-vax nutjob like RFK, Jr., who may gut the nation’s health care safety net.
There are several possibilities here. Voters who backed Trump:
(1) Never heard any of this because they exist in an alternative reality
(2) Heard about it but didn’t believe it, because they preferred his lies
(3) Knew about his reckless dishonesty and bigotry, but didn’t care, or…
(4) Actually, liked it all."
I think some Trump voters come from each of these groups. I think the evangelical Christians are mostly from groups (3 )and (4) as they are strong Trump supporters.
I think Trump is going to be every bit as bad (or worse) than predicted.
I have a brief excerpt from Charlie Sykes:

Kamala just did not admit Joe's errors or help people understand what she had learned from them. Or explain how she would improve things.
