> [@marshmallow](#): > > The Trump movement is not based on religion. His main ideological appeal is nationalism, protectionism, racism, anti-establishment anger, and anti-left/PC culture. The alt-right is not religious, especially among the younger crowd who are often fairly anti-religious. Trump himself has made some attempts to appeal to the religious right, but they were transparent pandering. While true, he also has the Religious Right wrapped up in a nice bow for him. Despite only token efforts to appeal to them, he has the Evangelical vote. Church attendance frequency is now correlated with voting for Trump. It’s why I’ve finally ripped off the band-aid and no longer call myself an Evangelical. I was fine when Evangelicals were for Trump but church attendance (a proxy for devoutness) made you less likely to support him. But I’m out now. I mean, I’ve been pro-LGBT and pro-choice for a while, but I still considered myself an Evangelical, foolishly believing that the Christian values I still have were Evangelical values. I now realize they are not. Not if they are willing to ignore them to vote for Trump. They really would vote for the devil himself if he had an (R) after his name. Point is, there’s something about being Evangelical that is pulling people towards Trump. And I think it might be their version of Christianity. ---

Maybe we should be concerned about what a poster sympathetically referred to as “ignorant and angry lower class people” when a real depression and/or other crisis develops. The resulting candidate(s) could well make Donald Trump seem like Mahatma Gandhi. I recommend that voters utilize the Jackmannii Fast Food Principle in evaluating political candidates. It’s long been my view that if food doesn’t look especially palatable with all the video tricks and enhancements possible in TV ads, it won’t be good to eat in reality. Seeing that Trump looks like a smarmy self-satisfied turd _in his own TV spots_\*, how can anyone think he’d make a decent President? \*especially the pseudo-patriotic one where he has his hand over his heart. ---

> [@Jackmannii](#): > > \*especially the pseudo-patriotic one where he has his hand over his heart. It’s not ‘over’ his heart. It’s over the gaping hole where a heart would typically be found on a normal human being. Just like his hair is strategically placed to obscure his missing brain. ---

Dealing with mental illness is a tricky and complicated thing and a varied approach is needed. Dealing with Hillary supporters though is easy. We just need to build a lot of prisons because only criminals would vote for a criminal. ---

As John Oliver points out, Hillary’s issues are like the average number of raisins in a raisin cookie. For a guy that does not like raisins. With Trump we have and will get tons of raisins.

It’s not crooked when it’s “just good business”. ---

> [@QuickSilver](#): > > It’s not crooked when it’s “just good business”. Seriously. That Trump calls Hillary ‘crooked’ is so out there, I just don’t know what to say. Hillary lies? Ummm… No word comes out of Trumps mouth that is close to the truth. Make no mistake. Trump cares about no one but himself. That so many voters don’t see this.
