Most of this is just nonsense, but I will say this. I have never met a MAGA Republican who I consider a real Christian with Christian ethics. I have met a lot of MAGA Republicans who claim to be Christian and have made up a lot of rules and ethics they claim are Christian, but in fact, are not remotely Christian. I do think people who think they are Christian and want to force on the rest of us their made-up Christian ethics and values, are a danger to the Country and freedom.
Christ’s ethics are love for all, self-sacrifice for others, helping the poor, treating the sick, feeding the hungry, welcoming the stranger, acting for the good of others in Christ’s name, living a life of hope, faith and charity, and lighting the path to salvation by caring for and not judging others.
Christ’s ethics are the exact opposite of everything Trump stands for and everything his followers are. And yes some of that is judging, but Christ said judge not lest ye be judged. MAGA Republicans judge, belittle, hate, bully, and criticize others constantly; especially those who try to lead a true Christian life of love and service. They are selfish, immoral, and proud of it. So they should expect to be judged.
All Christians don’t act like Christians. Very rational and non-judgmental. By the way, true Christians do expect to be judged, just not by people like you.
I would have to ask the simple question if a person who claims to be a Christian does not act like a Christian, is he a Christian? Perhaps one of the most evil things one can do is claim to be a Christian and not “act like a Christian.” It turns people from Christ. It makes the work of bringing salvation to the world more difficult.
If someone who does not claim to be a Christian does not act like a Christian, that is a Christian opportunity. A lost sheep to be found. But the man who claims to be a Christian and does not act like a Christian brings distrust upon all Christians.
Those who judge others should expect judgment from others. Christ’s warning about judgment was not about judgment by God. We will all be judged by God, Christian and non-Christian; saint and sinner. I am not sure how those who say they are Christian but do not act like Christians expect that to come out. Maybe in their heart, they don’t care because they don’t really believe the teachings of Christ.
I think that when Donald Trump was asked if he had ever asked Christ for forgiveness, He said no. Is it possible for him to be a Christian without seeking forgiveness of sin? Yet he claims to be a Christian. This type of hypocrisy drives people from Christ.

I answered nah to the questions.
I have voted independently; I’ve voted Republican and Democrat.
I voted for the loser of the Nixon/McGovern race. I just won’t tell you who I voted for. Up until 2018, I’ve split my choices for president, Senate and House. In 2015, I assessed Trump as an effing idiot; his traits include pathological lying, pigheadedness, immaturity, hypocrisy, tyrany, and a whiner. I don’t see Trumpism dieing anytime soon, so in 2018, I will continue to vote straight Democrat; which means that I can’t vote for county council since the “Republican” party in the general election.
If you removed all your references to sex and gender issues, you might have more room to touch on the most important ones that should concern all Americans: Does character, honesty, religious belief, empathy, decency, regard for the rule of law, and putting country and fellow citizens above self actually matter in a public official? Judging by the man that the Republicans Party elected to lead the country for the next four years, those issues are way, way down the list.

How to tell if you’re a SC Democrat:
You run for the Senate with an R after your name.
