In reply to the discussion: Just had a terrible confrontation w/ a friend: Damn Fox "news" to hell! [View all]Mariana
(14,861 posts)42. Those are pretty mainstream Christian beliefs these days
The majority of Christian voters cast their ballots for Trump in 2016. Most of them will probably do it again in 2020, because they believe stuff like, "Trump is the chosen one of God, and when he's out of office, the liberals are going to start what the Bible says in Armageddon. These are the end days, and the liberals are the devil's pawns." This is what is being preached in a lot of the churches. Love of Trump and hatred for liberals/Democrats are literally tenets of their Christian faith.
They love Fox News because Fox News repeats back to them what they already believe. Fox News tells them what they want to hear. If Fox News ever started saying things they don't already agree with, they'd turn it right off.

My advice is to rethink your friends. She's crazy even for a Trumpanzee.

So true, 90%Jimmy. I'm going to keep your quote: "Behind every great fortune is a great crime".

I've wondered the same thing. Seems like there should have been a boycott a long time ago.

I think that was what shocked me so. That, and the contorted face, and the hatred in her eyes.
