8. Christian Nationalists and evangelicals got into bed with Trump so he would support their religious agenda.

He delivered the end of safe abortion to them, but they want more because not all states have gone full hate toward women.

Misogyny is built into their religious beliefs that women should aspire only to being wives and mothers with no thoughts other than how to please a husband, even an abusive one, and raise children thoroughly indoctrinated to be just like their parents—submissive girls and aggressive boys. Their pastors preach thus patriarchal family model every Sunday. They also spread Republican lies and tell people who to vote for.

I apologize to those here who are sincerely religious, but I believe that the evangelical version of Christianity that motivates the Trump supporters is a huge part of the division and hatred in our country. I am anti any religion having a significant role in determining our laws based on their beliefs—Christian, Muslim, or anything else.
