White evangelicals waver after Trump’s shifts on abortion: ‘It’s disastrous’ - POLITICO

Since the beginning of this whole debacle, the most perplexing curiosity to me is how so many succeptable individuals have come to view him as this infallible figure. The basic tenents of being objective and critical in order to make informed decisions seem to have been thrown directly out the window. It's the cultivation of willful ignorance and flat out denialism; the opposite of academia.

I'm still in disbelief that so many are being fooled by such a obviously phony character. I just don't get it. However, I refuse to give up on the idea that we ARE better than this. We ARE smarter than this. Get this fucking clown out of here already, I'm sick of the name and the face.

It’s completely anecdotal, but I just saw a post from the weird, hyper religious kid I was in the Navy with asking if any 3rd party cared about “unborn souls.”

Yeah, he didn't do anything directly in this area last time, he just appointed the judges that would. If he can appoint even more judges, they can probably ban abortion outright for a whole generation. They know this and they'll vote for that.

If he messes up enough they might stay home. It's happened plenty of times.

I suspect that a lot of people just sit out.

Isn’t that the essence of religion?

It's simple, you see. Everyone else is wrong but them.

They won't. Their goal is theocracy. They'd prefer it tomorrow, but they'll chip away incrementally if need be. That's what they did with the courts, which is why we're here in the first place. They're still voting for Trump.
