Some critics see Trump's behavior as un-Christian. His conservative Christian backers see a hero - Lemmy.world

IMO, he is definitely the Christians’ mascot. not only due to how much they support him, but also because he reflects the bigotry and ignorance they so deeply cherish.

As a frustrated Christian, I think I’d say it’s most accurate to say that Trump embodies Conservatives, Republicans, and Evangelicals, all of whom have apparently no clear code of conduct or definition beyond “seize power, worship the perceived strong man, crush the marginalized.”

Christian, though…there’s a least a definition there (“follower of Christ”) that excludes Trump — not only does Trump not care at all about Christ except as an incantation to get votes, but he directly contradicts the things Christ taught.

I’m Jewish, not Christian so I’m not too up to speed on Christ. I also don’t believe in the anti-Christ. That being said, there was an article a while back that laid out all the qualities that the anti-Christ will supposedly have. Trump embodied all of them.

Like I said, I don’t believe in an anti-Christ, but if I was told that the anti-Christ not only existed, but was alive right now, I’d wager on it being Donald Trump.
