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.

To quote a fanfiction about a Mandalorian soldier I once wrote, "I have never been more ashamed of my people."

Womp fucking womp.
They work for a tyrant who made concentration camps. No Sympathy.
And what a surprise Evangelicals have zero standards or anything resembling cognition.
They're becoming the Positive Christianity of our time. A prop of the ruling party made by and for them.

Who knew it might be hard to get a date when you support one of the world's most famous misogynists.
And evangelicals being hypocrites? Say it ain't so.

Hey, that will speed up the Apocalypse and bring the Paradise faster. It would be actually rational to them to do it.
Sure, they will be dammed, but the saved ones will be grateful.

It's like saying they would vote for a Salafist, they totally wouldn't.

That is because the Salafist would usually be non-white.
Republicans only have bigotry and greed as fuel, that and being Anti-Abortion (also, being totally outdated in the debate about it, there good secular arguments to be Anti Abortion, they just dont use them). That is...pretty much everything.
If the Satanist is white, then he would have a chance.
And I finally could stop saying "I am christian but..."

Watch me destroying my countryAs long as the neopagan in question were anti-immigration, anti-abortion, nationalistic and pro-whites, I'm sure he could get Evangelicals to make an exception for him.
There is a non-insignificant movement of pagan enthusiasts in alt-right circles. Their values aren't all that different from that of the average Trump Chump. (And I'm saying this as someone enlisted in Iceland's thankfully mostly alt-right-free Ásatrú church, so I'm not making a judgment on whoever might be interested in that kind of thing).

Except they're explicitly theocratic, I find it very hard to believe that they would accept someone who obviously violates one of their major values.
Furthermore it's not like the evangelicals are fond of those atheistic alt-righters, so that's not really a good argument.

Dennis Hof, a Pimp with several Sexual Assault allegations against him, has won a Nevada State Assembly Seat, thanks to Evangelical Voters
. Hof is also a Trumpeteer.
So Nevada now has a Pimp Trumpeteer in their State Assembly, thanks to Evangelical voters.
