If they see Billary as corrupt, but not trump, then they’re fully indoctrinated with political propaganda. At that point you probably can’t reach them, because they’re no longer basing their decisions from reality. Additionally, I don’t see how two politicians who are largely irrelevant today being corrupt would stop them from voting from other candidates. It’s just an excuse that was given to them by their cult leaders.
I feel you. My hope is slowly fading…I miss my family and I am not looking forward to this election. I’m scared it will be my final straw and I won’t see them again. :(
Does helping the poor not align well enough with his Christian values? That’s what I don’t understand about these people, man. They make their religion this huge part of their identity, and then they vote polar opposite. I know a bunch of people like this from my hometown, and it just baffles me. It’s part of the reason why I was eager to move away. Ask your pops how the actions of the Republican party align with Matthew 22:37-40. He can’t explain away that one. It’s literally the entire foundation for Christianity.
I don’t disagree at all, but the southern Baptist convention has their own version of it they have created that caters to networking business owners who are willing to direct deposit their tithes. These people hate taxes and abortion and have melded the left wing to fit everything they hate in their minds.
I live in one of the poorest, most violent, most racially segregated major cities in the country. My church was extremely homophobic and covert racist. The churches in my city are still mostly racially segregated. All missions went outside of the city/country because they blamed the poor people in our city for being poor and weren’t worth helping.
Shit sucked and I just tried to enjoy the free sweet tea and fried okra until I turned 18 and never went back.
Why won’t he ever vote for a Democrat?
Not OP but my parents are the same way. It’s because Bilary (as they love to call them) is evil/corrupt/etc
Not sure why Republican corruption never matters. If I could figure that out I might be able to convince them to vote not-Republican.

Baptist, southern, and loves Ronald Reagan too much. I’ve tried on this man for 2 decades.

It will never cease to amaze me how many repuglicans will happily give ~10% of their income to some random church while ranting endlessly about taxes!
