This isn't the first time white, right-wing evangelical Protestants have chosen power over values.

One of these men is a white evangelical Protestant from the South and a devout Christian. The other won the votes of white evangelical Protestants despite being a divorced washed-up Hollywood actor who rarely went to church and who preached a secular Gospel of Wealth and Avarice. Guess who belonged to which party.

1. I'm convinced

I am convinced that they don't know what values even are! Hate, just hate and Church (where they learn who to hate).

2. You know what's REALLY funny?

The Evangelicals are worried about their brand. They are worried that "Evangelical" is becoming a by-word for extremism, hate, hunger for power, and hypocrisy among young people.

Supporting the most anti-Christian candidate ever will surely rectify this incorrect perception.

4. I don't laugh about it...

I just call them Talibangelists.

8. +1, it should and that should be part of our resistance

3. There are a number of similarities between this election and 1980

and if history is any guide 1980 was devastating. The country is still bearing the wounds.

Personally, I think Trump is much worse (and that is hard to pull off - hated Reagan) but I guess we'll find out.

7. I agree.

I felt devastated when Reagan was elected; but I know that this will be worse. It already is.

5. Nor the first time that any human being has done so. n/t

6. It's all in how you define "values."

The "Moral Majority" types value bigotry in its many forms.
