People who "don't like our religion" being excluded from entering the country is the first step towards expelling those same people who are already here. How very fascist of the NSGOP.
For the evangelical crowd at least, religious freedom means having their sense of religious privilege enshrined in law. The dog whistle couldn't have been more clear here. Trump is saying he intends to bar Muslims from entering the United States. Even his dim witted base couldn't miss that bit. I think the weight of those ninety-one felony indictments is bearing down on Trump as he becomes a little more incoherent and irrational with every passing day.
“Our religion” and n this context is Trumpism, with a thin layer of Christianity painted on to make it look gold.
He’s worried about terrorists not loving the USA, but let’s never forget that he sold classified documents to whomever would pay him a compliment, while in office and since from his “gilded” bathroom. Fuck this traitorous rapist. He needs to be tried for treason and punished accordingly.
Which is why shady businesses slap Christian symbolism all over their advertising. Thankfully this mindset is slowly going away. Not fast enough, but it is going away.
This nonsense from a guy who thinks churches are backdrops for photo ops. He hasn't seen the inside of a church in his entire adult life, but evangelicals like to think of him as a reincarnation of the Persian hero-god, Mithras, or his imitator, Jesus. It isn't surprising that Republicans look the other way and put their fingers in their ears when he says these things. That's the only way they can look themselves in the mirror when shaving in the morning. And that's the problem with religion: it is so easily co-opted by amoral people like Trump.
A lot of people have no shared concept of what being American is supposed to mean, and they don’t have a working concept for what are democracy, society, and quality of life. They don’t expect their tax dollars to work for them, and they believe whatever they are told. Culturally, their definition of religion is based in stereotypes and reinforced by propaganda, like marketing. If government was permitted to work for the people as intended, rightwing and religious propaganda wouldn’t have such sway over people’s views. They are fed positive reinforcement by sources that oppose them having higher standards and critical thinking skills.
Trump has fashioned himself as a god, and his cult now worship him as a false idol. Trumpism is his religion. Of course he wants no separation of church and state! He wants to have total control over both.
We had better do our best to get out the vote in 2024. Some people think Dems and Repubs are just 2 sides of the same damaged coin and just plan to sit it out. This could gift the election to front-runner Trump - a disaster in so many ways, not the least of which is his appeal to christian nationalists.
What they want is a gated community of privileged white conservative Christian assholes. Minorities can live in their America if they're willing to cater to and serve those privileged white assholes, otherwise, they would like to deport or exterminate them.
As was con-splained (conservatives tell me things) to me, "Freedom of religion means you are free to worship any religion you want, it's not freedom from religion." Now it's being extended to "You are free to worship any religion somewhere else if it's not christianity."
"His comment wasn’t theological. It was political." - Is there a difference with them anymore?
Our religion, you know with Jebus. No one heard of Jebus until I starting talking about him. Great guy that Jebus. Treated so poorly. But he said, Donald, they might have treated me bad, but nobody has been treated worse that you. and then Jebus wept.
Jesus Christ, $840,000 or whatever is weak? There are politicians in NZ who would commit multiple murders for that sort of money. Probably wouldn't be allowed anyway though.
He's made a career of escaping accountability. Now his tactics are failing him. As more of his co-conspirators are flipping on him, the great orange whale continues to grow more desperate and irrational. The thought of prison mortifies him.

"We don't want you. Get out of here. You're fired!"
Think that's what America told you back in 2020, Donny.

No hate quite like Christian love.
