Why Some Christians ‘Love the Meanest Parts’ of TrumpIn the minds of a lot of conservatives, the left exists to impugn their motives, and the Republican Party regularly lied to them and said they would defend them and then didn’t. And that was the establishment. Trump became their hero, because he hated the establishment, and he beat up on the media, and he was fighting back against all these forces. The more he fights, the more they feel justified, like, He’s our hero because we needed someone to do this for us. Trump’s appeal is not judges. It’s not policies. It’s that he’s a shit-talker and a fighter and tells it like it is. That’s what they like. They love the meanest parts of him.
In other words, they're whiny little bitches forever wallowing in their persecution complex and in need of a suitable asshole to fight their imagined battles for them.
These people never had any moral authority, but now we have a solid, indisputable example why that is to cite.

Green: In your book, you talk a lot about the “but abortion” argument that many pro-life Christians make. For example: Let’s say I’m an evangelical mom involved in the pro-life movement, and I genuinely believe that abortion is the greatest human-rights crisis of our time. And although I don’t like the way that Trump talks about immigrants, I don’t like babies in cages, I don’t like family separation, etc., I think there is a genuine possibility that a Republican will nominate and confirm Supreme Court justices who will overturn Roe v. Wade and lower the number of abortions in the U.S.
Do you disagree with that as a rationale for supporting Trump?
Howe: Yes.
Green: Why?
Howe: When you make a short-term decision that can have long-term detrimental consequences, as I think Trump will, you are harming your cause. Trump will affect the way the culture views abortion and views conservatism. As a Trump-supporting pro-lifer, can I convince anyone that abortion is wrong? He makes it more difficult.
Green: The most interesting part of your book, in my opinion, is when you’re talking about the culture of trolling and shit-posting in the conservative-media world. You suggest that you’ve repented of all that. Have you?
Howe: I would not say that I have. I would say that I’ve gotten way better.
Green: You’re still a shit-poster?
Howe: I don’t know if I was ever a shit-poster. A shit-poster wants to piss you off because they think it is funny to piss you off.
Dude knows subbie. And right on cue.

PomM is right. Trump is the King of the Snowflakes, and you are a fantastic example of one of his quivering sycophants. In the last few days alone you continue to do as you accuse others, by whining about Obama and Clinton. Your fears and anger are always on display, and the hair-fires and non-existent conspiracies never end for you.

The guy most certainly was talking about idiots like sub.
There's no point attempting to reason with people like this. Dishonest people make for worthless relationships. They're a detriment to human progress. We should only care what they have to say to the extent that it's important to know what the morons are thinking these days.

Because Trump has been using the expression 'goddamn' at rallies, he has been
getting some push back from some on the right who object to taking the Lord's name in vain. When a Christian is upset that Trump says 'goddamn' more than they are upset that he keeps children in cages, then Christian cosmology has been completely divorced from Christian compassion.
