      The US is more often led by neoliberal capitalism running unrestrained… but whenever it gets creepy religious shit definitely hits the fan.

          Please explain further how Trump is a devout Christian…

          In the modern Era there are some republican goals that come from religion (I.e. gay marriage opposition) but the majority of their bullshit is just about greed and power.

          Also, keep in mind that a lot of greedy people in the republican party are happy to embrace Christian bullshit like abortion restrictions if it means they can drill for oil on public park land.

          America is fucking complicated and trying to attribute either of the parties’ stances to a single simple thing will be extremely inaccurate.

            He said he’s a Christian at some point. That’s all it takes.

            There was even that time he hired his goon squad, or sorry, ordered his goon squad to attack peaceful protesters so that he could hold a Bible upside down outside.

            You know the kind of stuff that our Lord and savior would do in his infinite mercy and wisdom.
