Deplorables commenting on Facebook

I usually try to avoid engaging with MAGAts on Facebook, but once in awhile I will comment on some right wing meme just to see their reaction. An acquaintance of mine today shared a meme about “So you think Trump is uncouth” or something like that, along with a list of whatabouts regarding Bill and Hillary and Obama and the other usual suspects, and I clicked on it to see the original post. A woman on there commented that a Democrat couldn’t be a Christian, so I replied and just said “You’re wrong.”

Eventually the man who first posted the meme got into it and told me I was a hypocrite, and I clicked on his profile and of course his profile was all full of Jesus, even though in those comments he was saying fuck this and fuck that, and I told him that I bet he was a great Sunday school teacher. There was another guy who was anti-Trump, and the author and several other men piled on to both of us. There were a lot of references to gay sex and they told me to leave and go love my husband. They seemed quite obsessed with the gay. As a gay man I found it quite funny, but also typical. This is what we’re up against.

Is that in one sentence, they will say the most hateful, ugly shit you could ever possibly imagine. And then in the next sentence - Jesus loves you! Um, that's not what I got from your previous message!

The like the angry revenge god in the old testament and just pay lip service to Jesus in the new testament.

They totally skip over the stuff that Jesus actually taught, like love your fellow man and do unto others.

How would they explain their hate filled lives to a being that wants us to be good to one another?

Proverbs 31:8-9
Proverbs 31:8-9 NIV
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.

What I like to do is use their own words against them. This nimrod was calling everyone a “shitpickle” (whatever that is) so I told him I bet he was a great Sunday school teacher, calling all those kids “little shitpickles.” Or I ask them to quote the Bible verse where Jesus said “Fuck all you libtards” or some other nonsense 😆

cast their ballots for Trump in 2016. All that hateful, ugly shit is mainstream Christianity in the US now.
