I always wondered how the cognitive dissonance of what Trump stands for and what Jesus reportedly stood for didnt turn the Christian right away from him and those in Congress who are his puppets. Maybe family values was the tipping point??

Well my brother.... if i get this wrong then please educate me. The biggest part of this was allowing abuse of women this culture until now. Am i right? Hell.... i just now remember my dad hitting my mom when i was a little boy. Ive had that buried inside me for almost 50 years.... oh man.
Look... i dispise any man handling or hitting a women unless their life is on the line. I wish my old man was alive so i could confront that evil bastard.
My question is why did it take so long to understand and stop and break ties. How can you pray to a god that's suppose to love and take care of you ....to stop this abuse? What the hells wrong with men and their ego. I know women want their say in equality and they should be heard. Why not? They should have equal pay if they can do the job. But its not in me to hit a women or hurt a women. They ought to put all offenders in jail...

@Theskeptic alright...

I agree but it seems the underlying pholosophy or intetpretation was that men are superior women wete to obey their spouse. At least in the old testament, which seems what they follow.
I figured Jesus being born from the first surrogate mother modernized it and instead of stoning we turn the other cheek and the rich take a back seat to helping the poor and sick.
So those Chritians promoting a Trump character is not about their religion

Breath holding I shall not do. Maybe they heard Jimmy Carter after all.

A dream come true. This is a positive thing, how far will it go? Seems the flip flops of the south have always had far reaching consequences.

Change is always generational.
