Donald Trump's base speaks again!


Quote:
More than half of white evangelicals say America's declining white population is a negative thing

Few demographic groups consistently poll more conservatively than white evangelicals.

On multiple issues, the most pro-Republican Party demographic group takes some of the most conservative positions on abortion, same-sex marriage and immigration.

How is it a good thing? It seems to be ok to celebrate white population decline and not ok to celebrate anyone else’s. Of course people will try to explain why this is fine with some sociology bs.

In case you haven’t noticed, places where white people used to live are not exactly thriving.

Here comes the thought police to tell you what to think, how to feel, and who should be your preferred neighbor... Nothing a little brainwashing won't solve, am I right?

Makes you wonder, why don't the critics of the white race move to Mexico, Somalia, or some other culturally enriched country?

That's a personal decision on whether you want to procreate or not. Doesn't concern me. I know that there are white evangelicals who take this really seriously and have large families because of these fears, such as the Quiverfull movement. The Duggars are part of that group.

It is a bad thing if you are Republican. Whites tend to vote Republican. What’s the controversy?

I literally think one of the worst things to happen in American politics in the past century was Ronald Reagan courting Jerry Falwell. If not for that, white evangelicalism would have remained the religious movement that it was and is supposed to be and not an authoritarian, fascist political movement that uses the Bible as a weapon and tool of oppression.

"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them." - Barry Goldwater

Billy Graham tried to sell them to the Democrats, but they didn't want them.

The Republicans bought them, even though Regan called them "Useful Idiots".
He kissed their butts and won two term as President.

Bush 1 called them "Morons with a vote".

Trump calls them "Patriotic Americans", but everything he says is a lie, so nobody knows what he really thinks.

Real Patriotic Americans call them "Deplorable".
