    His cult does not care. They feel they are the only rightful inheritors of the USA. They want to punish everyone who has ever even slightly inconvenienced them or their sensibilities. They are angry at all the poor life choices they made and need someone to offload that guilt. Almost every GOP slob I have met is so angry about things that only have the thinnest of understanding. Usually, just repeating things that some guy on TV has screamed at them for weeks and weeks. They don’t even recognize the other 2/3rds of citizens as real Americans. It’s a sickness that will not end well.

        I remember when Obama was the antichrist and my father was waxing about the end of all things. Meanwhile this orange fuck holds a bible upside down and embodies nearly every “sin” you can think of and not a fuckin peep

          I don’t fully understand Christianity, but isn’t the Antichrist supposed to herald the coming of the devil??

          Trump has supporters who think he is the Antichrist and want him in power because their book of lies says that that happens before the rapture. Even if their mythology was based on reality, I don’t get how they don’t expect some beaurocrat at heaven admissions to be like, “Hold up, it says here that you supported the Antichrist and wanted the rapture to happen partially because you thought it would punish those that opposed it? That that was your specific idea of paradise?”

    Great job using a Twitter thread for your campaign message. Twitter doesn’t show replies to people who aren’t logged in, so most people can’t read their takedown if linked to the thread start.

      Stuff like this isn’t meant for them, because they won’t abandon their cheeto dust messiah. Posts and articles like this are for those who, somehow, are still on the fence about him.

        And, to some extent, to discourage voting. There are quite a few people who won’t ever vote Biden, but can be convinced Trump isn’t worth voting for.

          I think about it the other way: there are lots of people that are uninformed and apathetic, they didn’t like trump, but think there isn’t a big overall difference between the two old guys. Those are the people that need to understand how bad Trump is, and how good (in a relative sense) Biden is as the alternative.
