What is an evangelist, exactly? Is that just a very conservative Christian? I don’t think a person’s religion should enter into how people vote. |
Unless that person wants to push their religious beliefs on to others. |
Person who wants to convert others. And in cases of politicians, those who want to incorporate religion in to the government. No thanks. Hard pass. |
And does this one? If so, how? Will he force Jews to go to church? |
Let’s start with abortion and go from there (and I say this as a Catholic). |
How would a Youngkin force religion into the government? We already have it to an extent - Christmas is a federal holiday, for example - but what else could he do? And don’t say abortion. I know Jews and a Muslims who are opposed, so that’s not a Christian thing. |
My response overlapped with yours. I just said that abortion isn’t an example, since I know people who are not Christian and still opposed. |
But it’s certainly religious beliefs that drive many to oppose. Look how many Catholic schools bus in their kids to marches. |
It is all driven by the religious right. The power they have in US politics is crazy. |
| I would assume they support the government forcing women to give birth to unwanted children, voter suppression, pressuring schools to elide all references to racism in American history, and forcing extremist religious views on the population. So yes, this would definitely impact how I saw them in a negative way. |
| Our neighbors a few doors down typically have signs up for republican candidates. I’m just glad they had the good sense not to put up Trump signs—though I assume they voted for him. |
They were probably afraid of repercussions from liberals. There wasn’t a single Trump sign in my neighborhood, and LOTS of Biden signs, yet our local precinct went for Trump (on Election Day itself). So you know there are Trump supporters who want to avoid any violence from liberal neighbors. Someone on this forum said that a neighbor loosened the lug nuts on all four tires the night after she put up her Trump sign. Thankfully, nobody was killed when her tires started to come loose. No telling what some of these liberals will do. |
DP. This is absurd and you know it. Domestic security experts generally view domestic right wing violence as the greatest terroristic threat in the U.S. There are a lot of data to support this, your anecdotal and unsupported allegations notwithstanding. Further, liberals are not the ones who want to turn the country into some sort of wild west dystopia where everyone carries a gun everywhere. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2021/domestic-terrorism-data/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.politico.com/amp/news/2020/09/04/white-supremacists-terror-threat-dhs-409236 https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/sep/08/post-911-domestic-terror |
My lovely neighbor gave out Trump candy last year. Like a handmade thing he wrapped the candy in. |
