    My mother is convinced he’s chosen by god even though he’s a terrible person. She’s just hand waving all of his obviously ‘sinful’ behavior as irrelevant to god doing god things. She keeps saying ‘he’s a man for such a time as this’ and it’s fucking wild how hard she’s gone in on this fascism since I broke contact with her and stopped fact checking her.

      I feel your pain. My very religious mother just supports him because he’s anti-choice. Nothing else matters, not the bragging about SA, not his obvious worship of the almighty dollar, not Jan 6. As long as more babies get shat out unto the world, regardless of the environment they’ll live in, that’s all that matters.

          I can’t disagree with you on that, despite how sad it makes me. She’s progressive in almost all other areas, but she’s a single issue voter so it doesn’t matter. She’ll vote for fascists because they pay lip-service to her beliefs.

          Like most Republicans he’s in the camp of “privileges (in this case abortions) for me not for thee”. He’s definitely caused some abortions.

        And she’s not even Calvinist lol.

        She’s one of those Christian’s that has no idea what ideology they follow. They just listen to what they like and run with it. Absolutely zero thought put into it.

          Calvinist thinking seems to run throughout American fundamentalism. Or possibly just humans in general; tribalism didn’t start with Calvin.
