    He’s played at replacing God. If Obama did 1/10th of the anti-Christian shit Trump’s done, the evangelicals would have been setting themselves on fire in the street. Dude might as well be the actual anti-Christ for how much he’s taken in the evangelicals (remember, the anti-Christ ends up deceiving a bunch of “believers” and actually has wild support). Knowing the MAGAs in my life, there is actually nothing that would change how they feel.

        I can think of a few times, yeah, and they have always done the mental gymnastics to justify it to themselves. One of them got fucked hard by the Trump “tax cuts” and yelled that he wanted Obama back (just about gave the other MAGAs at work a panic attack), but remained an ardent MAGA. It always boils down to something like “Benevolent Dear Leader would stomp on me on purpose. Oh, well, these things will happen, but it’ll be worth it in the long run”.
