If someone had told me 10 years ago, US politics would fall apart because a spray tanned criminal, who swears, rapes, and engages in extramarital sex, would manage to convince religious voters, he was chosen by God…

… I would have thought they were insane.

@randahl As someone who grew up in the 90s listening to Limbaugh (and other like him) and attending various evangelical churches in rural Oregon, I've not been that surprised. Trump has been saying things that I'd been hearing for decades. The Christians who support him also have historically had no problem overlooking the glaring flaws in their leaders and the people they idolize.

@jimvernon out of sincere interest: How do they get from “everything in the bible is legit” to choosing the guy who is the antithesis to every ideal presented in the same bible?

Surely there must be young people putting up a hand to say, “But the emperor has no clothes!!!!”
