So the majority of my family is Catholic, and (surprisingly) most of them are (grudgingly) going with Hillz. The reasoning is twofold. First, we live in Michigan, and they see ths walking talking melanoma as a threat to unions. 2nd, because of the new Pope. My aunt said "I just can't see Pope Francis supporting Trump" because the Pope is so humble and concerned for the poor, and the dead opossum wearing orange shit stain is, well, not.

The compulsive repetition of words like "narrative" and "excitement" should tip people off but apparently doesn't. Never any shortage of people who smile and floor it when they pass a sign saying BRIDGE OUT, at any time, anywhere.

Oh god no! I'll state it here, if I ever say I am voting for Trump, it's because I've been kidnapped by a group of crazy orange spray tan sniffers and I'm trying to signal for help.

They actually have a lot in common. They have about the same levels of knowledge about their religion. Which is effectively zero.

Panzerfaust spends all of his time doing what he loves best: counting the little children's lives he ruined, and cackling with glee.

They certainly taste like death warmed over.

I don't know where people get this idea that evangelicals don't follow similar beliefs.

Hating people who aren't just like them, fond of torture, impressed with their own ignorance, valuing faith (bullshit) over reason--

Just how the hell are they different from Trump again?
