(sidenote) Trump reminds me of even weaker and more delusional version of Mussolini.

All I’m saying is….when you consider the fact that Trump showed everyone who he was/is from jump (from the minute he descended the escalator in his hotel) and Everyday leading up to securing the Repub nomination for the presidency….I don’t see how any True Christian could have ever supported such a creature.

Yes, lots of people who claim to be “Christian” now want to distance themselves from Trump. But their support for him in the first place tells me they weren’t actually “Christians.” Let me put it this way – the “Jesus” they follow/followed is “Another” Jesus….a Jesus of their own making.

A Jesus I know absolutely nothing about.

Bingo!

Before self-proclaimed members of the far-right group the Proud Boys marched toward the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, they stopped to kneel in the street and prayed in the name of Jesus.

The group, whose participants have espoused misogynistic and anti-immigrant views, prayed for God to bring “reformation and revival.” They gave thanks for “the wonderful nation we’ve all been blessed to be in.” They asked God for the restoration of their “value systems,” and for the “courage and strength to both represent you and represent our culture well.” And they invoked the divine protection for what was to come.

Then they rose. Their leader declared into a bullhorn that the media must “get the hell out of my way.” And then they moved toward the Capitol.

The presence of Christian rituals, symbols and language was unmistakable on Wednesday in Washington. There was a mock campaign banner, “Jesus 2020,” in blue and red; an “Armor of God” patch on a man’s fatigues; a white cross declaring “Trump won” in all capitals. All of this was interspersed with allusions to QAnon conspiracy theories, Confederate flags and anti-Semitic T-shirts.

The blend of cultural references, and the people who brought them, made clear a phenomenon that has been brewing for years now: that the most extreme corners of support for Mr. Trump have become inextricable from some parts of white evangelical power in America. Rather than completely separate strands of support, these groups have become increasingly blended together.

This is a good point. Repubs are not scared of Trump they are scared of his followers. If they lose all those voters they are screwed. A lot of the things Trump did and said was red meat for his group which proves they are leading him. The way they turned on his so easy for not pardoning them makes the case.
