I know. But I'd do everything in my power to get out of there. This is only going to get worse. Stay safe.

Time to reconsider where you live.

They often endorse conservative candidates outright or imply who to vote for through heavy social pressure.

Evangelicals have been trying to get rid of the Johnson Amendment for many years so they can receive tax freedom and engage in politics more freely: https://www.npr.org/2018/03/22/596158332/another-effort-to-get-rid-of-the-johnson-amendment-fails

it's society gathering to decide a person has crossed a final threshold and we must all send a clear message.

Yet, the United States, the only western country allowing capital punishment as a form of punishment, is doing significantly worse on violent crime than all other western countries. It doesn't work.

Capital punishment is not an option, ever. Life in prison is the more severe punishment. The government should not be murdering people in an act of revenge.

There's a reason why every other developed country in the world has abolished the practice. It's downright disgusting.

I think it might be worse to encounter a twice-impeached former president who was found liable by a jury for sexual abuse.

Many of the women who support Trump are also devout Christians. They see Trump as sent by God as a protector and that he's surviving assassination attempts because he's shielded by God himself. They believe Trump is God's shield to protect women and Christians from the world. In many Christian homes, there's already a very clear gender hierarchy with men above women, and many Christian women grow up with it and accept it as God's design. They may also face significant pressure at home to accept Trump no matter his behavior.

Trump has also really ramped up the religious rhetoric about himself when speaking. He knows the dynamic by now. It's pretty wild.

"Both sides"

 

Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris leads Republican Donald Trump 47% to 40% in the race to win the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election, as she appeared to blunt Trump's edge on the economy and jobs, a Reuters/Ipsos poll published on Tuesday found.
