Oddbean new post about login | logout John Kelly confirms Trump privately disparaged U.S. service members and veterans - NBC News https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/john-kelly-confirms-trump-privately-disparaged-us-service-members-vete-rcna118543 Extend the list of people who’d be going irrationally against their own self interests by supporting him: * Veterans * Middle class * Anyone not straight, white, cis * Union members * Non-Christians * Non-evangelical Christians * Rural dwellers * The educated He acts against people in all those groups while saying he supports them. It’s so frustrating.
@edbba727 Honestly you can add "Christians" to the list. As someone who was once upon a time a fervent believer - who read my Bible cover-to-cover and knew what was ACTUALLY written there - there is absolutely nothing Christlike about Trump. Christ would never endorse him. That's a fact, regardless of how the pro-Trump people feel about it. Other whataboutisms may be valid but are not relevant to this point (ex "Jesus probably wouldn't vote").
