2028 Election Will be Fixed

Nothing amazes me more then how the evaneglicals have embraced Trump, despite to any halfway intelligent observer it is clear he is not a Christian, and is taking them for a ride.

Nothing amazes non-Americans less. All of them, and Trump, have always been liars, bullies, mobsters, semi-criminals, arch-grifters and scam-artists, living on the edge of the American legal system with zero empathy for their victims. They share almost 100% of their world views and tactics in common.

And, they're taking him for a ride. Who makes up Trump loyalists?

They want to replace the government with a theocracy. Trump appeals to the anti-woke crowd which gives him enough votes to win, then the theocracy will throw them under the bus. Trump's so complaint in their scheme, I doubt they'll throw him under the bus, not that he has long to live.

That and convincing millions of mostly lower and middle class rural and suburban people that he, born to wealth and a life-long New Yorker, is one of them
 
My assumption is that he meant they wouldn't have to vote again for him, but being Trump he's letting it hang out there. Laura Ingraham had him on her show and he said, "Vote for me, you're not going to have to do it again," but then he goes off on how he's going to fix everything so you won't have to vote again. Ingraham tries to get him to say that they won't be able to vote for him, but they'll still be voting, but he absolutely declines, going off onto a tangent about how Christians don't vote and even does a bit about how the Jews should never vote for Democrats, reminiscent of Biden's, "You ain't Black, man." Later on, he implies that his point is that if they vote for him he'll fix everything, so they can go back to not turning out.

Of course it's one of those things that doesn't make any sense, and you can tell that Ingraham finds the notion of no elections after 2024 ridiculous.

I wonder who will throw who under the truck, though.
I don't think imposing a theocracy on the US is going to be as easy as some people here think it is.

The problem is not all that long ago, anybody saying that crap political career would be dead.
Sad thing is people like Ingrham support Trump thinking that somehow they can control him They can't. COnservatives in Germany made the same mistake about the Nazis.

I think they've been convinced by the Horatio Alger just so stories (and their modern descendants) that they can become as "rich" as T****y, despite the fact that it's become increasingly impossible to leave the socioeconomic class you were born into (except to fall off the ladder).

In context it's just Trump's magical thinking. Nothing more to see there.

I dunno.

Whatever might be going on behind those eyes is irrelevant to some extent.

If he says things like this and the context doesn't make things better, then make sure everybody knows what he says and what that would mean.

In the USA, Christianity is usually equated to evangelical Christianity, particularly the revivalist snake-handling tent-preacher types who end up owning grand mansions and many private jets. And these evangelicals do, by and large, support Trump. I explained why. These people I do definitely have it in for. They are neither Christian nor christian.

However I do not have it in for all who profess to be Christians. Those who hold to and practice genuine Christianity I have plenty of time and tolerance for. And I can distinguish them from the former.

Perhaps you painted with too broad a brush once again?
