Do you know anybody like this in your family or group of friends.

They say that they are politically moderate or just somewhat conservative.
They don’t like the way that Trump behaves and belittles people.
However, they voted for him against Biden and would do so again.
They believe that Biden and all Democrats, for that matter, are so vile that they would not ever vote for them. They can’t really express why other than to just talk in generalities such as throwing out code words like fascist, communist, socialist or whatever comes to mind.

Most DU-folk refuse to think it possible a person could hold political beliefs with which DU-folk disagree and be honest and intelligent.

Those words aren't code words, you stupid primitive, they are accurate descriptions.

A good example of coded language was when the doddering old fool Biden used the term super predators to describe African American men.

They say they think Biden has done a good job. He's the kind of guy who gets things done.
They see nothing wrong with Biden's mental state.
They see nothing wrong with what the DOJ, FBI, and other powers have done.
They just hate Donald Trump.
They can't articulate what he did wrong, or they claim things about him that are false.
But they'll still oppose Trump, because they think nothing could possibly be worse.

20. They also think you have to be a

Republican or you’re not a Christian. I’m a liberal democrat and I’ve been called a communist, ungodly and baby killer. I wouldn’t vote for a rebuke if they were the last politician standing

Lets see, it was Biden who said "youre not Black if you dont vote Democrat..". So, Jan, shut your pie hole, and set down.

Isn’t that the progressive agenda?
The green new deal, the inflation reduction act, open borders, tons of deadly drugs pouring into our country, lawlessness in our major cities, failure to prosecute criminals.
Look in the mirror dummy

I'm sure there are Christians "out there" who believe that, but in the over 60 years I can remember of being around Evangelical and other theologically conservative Christians (a history-based fine distinction) I have never heard this expressed, directly or indirectly. I will guarantee there are Dems in the Evangelical church my family currently attends, being friends with at least some.

In DU stereotype-fantasies, Evangelical churches are hyper-politicized, spending (almost) all sermon time on denouncing gays and yada, yada, yada. In real life, such "churches" are rare. The two nearest I know of, if they haven't closed their doors for lack of attendees and $$, are in Tempe and Fountain Hills, Arizona (i.e. something like 800 or 1000 miles from me). Evangelical pastors and teachers have more important things to teach and discuss.
