    There’s been this idea circulating among Christians that Trump is actually chosen by God to help protect his people. This is because there are instances in the Bible of “outsiders” being chosen by God to protect the Jews in the Old Testament. They just see it as another one of those instances. Now, we’re dealing with faith. They can overlook his gaffes, his very un-Christian behaviors, bad perspective on reality, all of the issues. Because they know he’s not one of them. They don’t care. They have faith that he will protect them and deliver the United States to Christian rule despite his seemingly sinful ways.

      I will never, ever understand Christians. Jews are God’s chosen people, they are the ones who are to be defended and cherished, their state should be defended… Why aren’t Christians Jewish? Why be Christians at all?

      I know of a Christian who believed Trump is the anti-christ, as foretold by Revelations and made direct comparisons. But he still voted for Trump anyway, because he could never support a Democrat. I live in an area where majority of Christians believe that Jesus actually would in fact forgive them for their actions that are antithetical to the Bible and cherry-picked Bible quotes. He was very homophobic too, so I deliberately dressed more queer to be irritating.
