    How Christian of them...

    https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/11/trumps-christian-apologists-are-unchristian.html

    Many Americans reject Trump because of his meanness, his misogyny, his ethnic demagoguery, and his squalid and abusive personal behavior. But most WEPs don’t. In a September poll for the Public Religion Research Institute, two-thirds of white Catholics and white mainline Protestants agreed that Trump had “damaged the dignity of the presidency.” Most WEPs said he hadn’t. In an ABC News/Washington Post survey taken in August, most whites agreed that Trump was guilty of a crime if it was true that he had directed his then-lawyer Michael Cohen to “influence the 2016 election by arranging to pay off two women who said they had affairs with Trump.” Trump’s core constituency, white men without a college degree, also agreed. But most WEPs didn’t.

    To accommodate Trump, white evangelicals have retreated from moral judgment of him.
    In 2011, a PRRI survey asked whether “an elected official who commits an immoral act in their personal life can still behave ethically and fulfill their duties in their public and professional life.” At that point, two years into Barack Obama’s presidency, only 30 percent of WEPs said yes. But in October 2016, after the release of Trump’s infamous Access Hollywood tape, 72 percent of WEPs said yes. The reversal among WEPs was twice as big as similar shifts among Catholics and white mainline Protestants. In a May poll commissioned by the Billy Graham Center, nearly half of black evangelicals said personal character had influenced their voting decisions in the 2016 presidential election. Fewer than 30 percent of white evangelicals said the same.

    Many white evangelicals see their religion not as a universal calling but as a heritage that sets them apart.

    Many WEPs haven’t just surrendered moral judgment. They’ve abdicated social responsibility. Compared with other whites, they’re more resistant to federal spending on poor people. The charitable explanation for this gap is that white evangelicals are skeptical about federal spending, not about helping the poor. But even when survey questions focus on help, not on spending, they’re unmoved. The BGC poll asked respondents to choose, from a list of 12 issues and traits, which was most important in determining how they voted in 2016. Among black and Hispanic evangelicals, a candidate’s “ability to help those in need” was the second or third most commonly named factor. Among white evangelicals, it ranked almost dead last.

    WEPs are also reluctant to acknowledge racism. The September PRRI poll asked whether recent police shootings of black men were “isolated incidents” or “part of a broader pattern of how police treat African Americans.” Seventy-one percent of WEPs said such killings were isolated incidents, compared with 63 percent of white Catholics and 59 percent of white mainline Protestants. In the BGC survey, 59 percent of non-evangelical whites agreed with the statement, “I am disturbed by comments President Trump has made about minorities.” But a plurality of white evangelicals disagreed with it.

    I mean I believe in balancing the budget and not spending more then we make(Republicans say they do but it when in power they add insane amounts of debt)

    My issue with them especially the minority republicans is fine you like the BS of trickle down economics (which doesn’t work but I’ll take the tax break :) ) but when they are so obviously race bating their base does that not scare you? Even if you are a white hispanic with blue eyes. Does it not worry you or do you not notice how blanant the race bating is from the republicans?

    One thing that is super scary about trump is how much he admires dictators. He likes to quote musulini. When you talk to one of his supporters they almost talk about him like if he was a cult leader.

    Republicans win by cheating but Democrats are too pussy too do anything about it.

    Obama won should have done something about the eletral college. The biggest bullshit rule ever. Hillary won by 3 million + but If you live in a big state your vote doesn’t matter. Same with the Senate. 2 dakotas!!!! With like 1 million people get 4 votes. NY and Califorinia get 4 votes.

    Some of the constitution is great but a lot needs to be updated. My favorite is the gun debate commercial when a guy goes to shoot up his job and is using a musket :) so no one dies

    Two things:

    1. Conservatives usually portray themselves as strict constitutionalists, but in reality they only love one amendment, the second. They love the senate which in theory shouldn't be that bad, but during the last 40 years they have also carved slowly at the institution rules, to the point that it is now a sham used to ram judges with little or no answer to their constituency.

    2. The main failure of our representation system (currently), besides gerrymandering and voter suppression, is that we stopped at 435 representatives, when in reality we should be at about 683 (cubic root of our population), resulting on under-representation for the urban areas and over-representation for cows and swaths of land. We should also add a few more states, starting with Puerto Rico and DC, and probably carve subdivision in the 3 or 4 biggest states. Off course that could also backfire in the long run, but at the very least we should get a few more democratic senators.
