There are more than one type of Republican

A few weeks ago I posted on Facebook that Republicans who support Trump are worshiping Satan. I got a lot of blowback for that. I've done some thinking, reading, and analyzing and I'm ready to change my view.

There are more than one type of Republican. There are those few (who are not running for reelection) who don't support Trump. And I imagine there are some who always vote Republican and don't even realize they're supporting Trump.

Then there are those white supremacists who want the country rid of Blacks and Jews, along with Muslims, Asians, Hispanics, and all the rest of the non-white population. They support Trump because he's fulfilling their agenda.

Now we come to the Christian nationalists. They support Trump because they want almost the same thing as the white supremacists: ie, get rid of anyone who doesn't worship God the Father of Jesus Christ. Of these there are two varieties. Those who hate everyone who doesn't believe the Bible (as interpreted by the rich leaders of the Christian church). And those who believe Trump is chosen by God to Make America Christian Again.

This last group is sincere and upright, but they've been deceived. America was founded specifically NOT to be a Christian nation. That's why the Founding Fathers, who were mostly deists who didn't believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ, crafted the First Amendment. You can worship any God (even Satan) and be protected under the Religious Freedom clause.

Now, political power in this world only comes through an alliance with Satan (Matthew 4.8-9). Satan rules this world (Ephesians 6:12). The Kingdom of God is not of this world (John 18.36). Jesus proved this when he walked the Earth. He was crucified by the religious leaders of his day. If he were to return today, he'd be crucified again by the religious leaders of this time.

The first and greatest commandment is to love God (Matthew 22.36-38) The second is to love everybody else (Matthew 22.39-40). Not only that, Jesus goes on to say that we should love our enemies those that curse us and hate us and persecute us (Matthew 5.44). Republican policy discriminates against everyone who isn't white, male, heterosexual and rich. Trump rewards his friends and prosecutes his enemies.

Jesus said it's harder for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven than it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle (Matthew 19.24). Republican policy gives tax breaks to the rich and claims, falsely, that that wealth will percolate down to the less wealthy. Trump uses his office to enrich himself with insider trading to the tune of up to $750 million in the first quarter of 2026 alone.

Jesus said to feed the hungry. Republican policy cuts funding for food stamps. Jesus said to provide clean water for the thirsty. Republican policy deregulates polluters of waterways. Jesus said to welcome the immigrant. Republican policy has immigrants detained indefinitely without due process and/or deports them. Jesus said to clothe the ill-clad. Republican policy imposes tariffs that force up the cost of clothing. Jesus said to take care of the sick. Republican policy cuts funding for health care. Jesus said to have mercy on prisoners. Republican policy pays giant corporations, by the head, to run prisons.

Then he said because you don't do these things for the least of his brothers and sisters, you don't do them for him. And therefore your destiny is everlasting fire. (See Matthew 25.31-46.)

There is nothing in Republican policy that is Christ-like.
