Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Yeah, I happened to hear that on CNN, Trump is literally saying Biden is going to take their god away from them.
The problem with holding back because of a fear of sexism is that it is effectively giving oxygen to those same sexist assumptions. It is the same criticism people like Malcolm X faced, that they should not get angry because it made them look like scary black men.
But I suppose that sort of feminism is too modern for Clinton, who grew up in a different age.
Hope shines brightest in the darkest times
Clearly Biden is a god from another pantheon, come back to reclaim his rightful place!
Why do all Trump's criticisms make Biden sound awesome?
Seriously!
He previously said that Biden was going to kill God, that's metal as fuck. At least the traditional insults of serving Satan or being godless actually made sense, this is just unironically awesome.

Maybe Trump thinks Biden is associated with the Weather Underground
?

To be fair, the people he's appealing to are the kind of Christians I'm perfectly comfortable invoking No True Scotsman on.
Joe Biden is the Demifiend. XD!

Most of the Evangelicals following Trump do it more out of racism than religion.
Presumably he's aiming for the ones that don't.

I mean, who'd want to protect the environment? What has the environment ever done for us? Besides provide us with food, and water, and air, and building materials, and fuel, and other sources of power, and warmth, and cold when it's too warm, and shade from the sun, and protection from UV rays, and giant swimming pools called 'seas', and artistic inspiration, and fluffy adorable critters, and not-so-fluffy-but-still-adorable critters, and cliffs and mountains and other such obstacles to overcome for the purpose of both physical and spiritual development, and...
Those sell-by-dates won't stop me because I can't read!I think its also notable that Joe Biden is a sincerely religious Catholic.
Sort of like Trump's attack on Obama despite the fact I believe the latter actually believes in God.

If I recall correctly, some of the Founding Fathers praised Islam in response to the Sultanate of Morocco being the first country to recognise the US.
It's always funny how the people who are allegedly all about that Founding Father worship also seem to know jack shit about them.

And Trump's evangelical base is increasingly incredulous.
I'd like to say that it's because Trump is about as anti-Christ as you can get, but no, it's because Biden is an old white guy and they like old white guys.
