Evil-gelicals For Trump




The MAGA primary election in Iowa demonstrated that the Malignant Loser, whose morals and character are the polar opposite of what evil-gelical Christians like to preach, remains a strong vote-getter among the hypocritical, far- right Bible- bangers. While his support in suburban areas of Iowa dropped off, the Malignant Loser's support among the evil-gelicals rose. From the Washington Post:

"Republican front-runner Donald Trump added Iowa’s most religious regions to his strongholds in Monday’s caucuses. He combined religious areas with the state’s lower-income and less educated counties to pull a majority of all caucus voters, more than double what he earned eight years ago.

Trump dominated the caucuses in the style of other Republican winners of the past 20 years, a pattern that works in Iowa but did not propel them to win the nomination. Meanwhile, Trump’s weakest performance was in the parts of Iowa that more closely resemble the rest of the country, with fewer White evangelical Christians, fewer farmers and more people living in cities with higher education and more income.

Trump pulled the evangelical Christian voters who pushed Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee to victory in the Iowa caucuses in 2008, Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania in 2012 and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas in 2016. None of them won the nomination."  (our emphasis)

One would think that these evil-gelicals would have noticed the Malignant Loser's incitement of an insurrection after he lost the 2020 election, as confirmed by over 60 Federal and state courts and his own senior officials. Also, one would think they would have taken into account his 91 felony charges in four indictments, his decidedly un-Christian behavior and speech, and what he called many of them in 2016. Of course, this is all explained away vaguely as "God's plan" and "persecution" of the heaven-ordained Malignant Loser. Also, you can't say that the evil-gelicals in Iowa are particular: they chose the odious trio of Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and Ted Cruz in the most recent past. Praise Jebus!
