You might need to sit down for this, but I need to tell you about white evangelicals in the US.
The fact that you needed to separate out a specific group of evangelicals because the others favoured your candidate is kind of self-defeating in this context, wouldn't you say? :sneaky:

Surprised to see you back.

This was a response to someone else's post, which mods moved to this thread along with their post. I never intended on posting in this Tyson-troll-thread, let alone interacting with you lot. Any thread that Tyson-the-troll posts in, is not worth my time.

I’m saying in MY experience.... my colleagues and myself are highly educated professionals. We would never get caught in a ponzi, but would vote for Trump. You can’t generalize.... but what I would concede is that religious are evidently easier to rope into a ponzi than Trump supporters
Even Bernie Madoff's scheme?

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Americans are most likely to name President Donald Trump and Michelle Obama as most admired man and woman in 2020. Trump tied former President Barack Obama for the honor last year but edged out his predecessor this year. Trump's first-place finish ends a 12-year run as most admired man for Obama, tied with Dwight Eisenhower for the most ever.
Haha.

Not at all.

Christianity isn't monolithic.

White evangelicals are as reliable a voting block for Republicans and Donnie as black evangelicals and Jewish folk are for Democrats.

These threads are full of folks like Paula White and Jerry Falwell for a reason.

Fair enough, am just surprised that highly educated people would ever vote for someone like Trump(with exceptions) , that certainly is not his base in the US.

Right, so why assume religious people are pro-Trump?

$2000 support in the Senate from the two GOP Senate candidates, and some others! Nice to see 2024 GOP nominee, Josh Hawley, in there! :thumbsup:

Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, both Georgia Republicans facing tight runoff elections in a week, announced on Tuesday that they supported increasing the size of individual stimulus checks to $2,000 from $600, joining a growing number of Republican senators and increasing pressure on the Senate to vote on the measure.

“I’m delighted to support the president in this $2,000,” Mr. Perdue said on Fox News’s “America’s Newsroom” on Tuesday morning. “It’s the right thing to do for people in Georgia.”

The House voted on Monday evening to increase the size of the checks to $2,000, daring Senate Republicans to either approve the heftier sum or defy President Trump, whose demand for bigger checks nearly scuttled the entire stimulus package. Mr. Trump kept up his campaign for the measure on Tuesday, demanding in a tweet “$2000 for our great people, not $600!”

Ms. Loeffler and Mr. Perdue joined a handful of Republican senators, including Marco Rubio of Florida, Josh Hawley of Missouri and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who have backed increasing the checks to $2,000. But the majority of Senate Republicans have so far remained opposed to the plan.

Calling it like it is.

Not sure why it makes you uncomfortable that white evangelicals overwhelmingly vote for Donnie, but here we are, apparently.
I'm not uncomfortable, I'm amused. The argument was about the behaviour of religious people with respect to the gullibility of the average Trump voter regarding ponzi schemes. If the religious are politically split, then why would anyone associate religious gullibility with Trump in particular? Oh, that's right, it was because you were selective about which religious grouping you chose to mention, and we should take your framing of the issue as super cereal. :ROFL:

Face it, Trump broke your brains.

Your projection is noted.
