Comments by "B Bodziak" (@B_Bodziak) on "Trump Accidentally Reveals TRUTH On Evangelical Political Power Revelations" video.
Getting the Conservatives in the SCOTUS was much more than just overturning Roe. It was about buying judges so they can vote in favor of big donors with cases before the court -- for DECADES!

There is a difference between believing in God and being an Evangelical Christian. There was a time that evangelical leaders weren't really political nor against abortion. In fact, Jerry Falwall had to be convinced how someone might view abortion as doing anything wrong. They realized how much political power they COULD have and they actually decided to use abortion as a "religious issue" and showing aborted fetuses really turned people's heads. There was a book written about it recently. It was by one of those former, well known vangelical leaders whó has had a change of heart

They've ALWAYS been selective over what states should have control over.

I agree. Although I am not a Christian and do believe there's a god over all of us, I did attend a "progressive" Christian church. I found I could no longer stay for coffee and doughnuts afterwards because of the political undertones of most conversations. I then stopped going altogether when a "guest speaker" was featured in place of the sermon. She was the director for a local "women's help clinic" re: anti-abortion, They take in young, pregnant unwed women and she wanted money. I was appalled. Additionally, they boot the mother and newborn out of the furnished, one bedroom apartment they initially provided.

I bet he hasn't stepped foot in a church since. I doubt he could name the church he attends in Palm Beach or in Bedminister. The evangelicals have to know he's not religious. It's the "Christians" who don't go to church weekly that have this idea that he was sent by God.

This was planned decades ago, and losing two justices during Trump's term just sped up the process. It was equal parts overturning Roe AND having big donors win when they have cases before the court . It's going to be a minimum of 40 years before there's another Liberal majority on the court and that's only if a Democrat is in the WH each time a seat opens. It could be over a century before it happens. Unless Congress expands the court, we are stuck with a corrupted court.

CNN published an article today that DeSantis is now in FOURTH place. After Trump, Halley and Ramaswarmy are about equal for 2nd place. Christie is a close 4th. Halley's performance at the debate seemed to gain her a lot of support. . Of all the Republicans, Halley would be the least damaging, imho. I could live with her.

The UK has a higher percentage of atheists. By many in the US, just saying you're an atheist can be a bit taboo.

But, evangelicals are Republicans, and Republicans have always been "anti-help people in need" when it comes to government programs. They'd rather cut taxes AGAIN on the wealthy than give than money to those who really need it. It sounds like you're a Democrat that is against abortion. You decided making abortion illegal to be your biggest concern, making you a one-issue voter. Now that Roe was overturned, you are no longer a one-issue voter. .

What gets me is Scientology is considered a religion for tax-exemot purposes. Its a bigger cash grab than any of the others.

But, they still have a 6-3 majority on the scotus. How long will it take to have a Liberal majority? 40 years? A 100 years? We likely won't see it in our lifetime unless there's a Democrat in the WH over those 49 years each time a spot opens up. Getting a 6-3 was a little about Row(that satisfied evangelical leaders who helped buy the court). For Republican leaders, it was about buying enough judges so that any time one of those big billionaire donors and their businesses have an issue before the court, they know they'll win and make more millions from the decisions.

I think a lot of Republicans realize Trump cannot win the general and want to go with the Republican most likely to beat Biden. A CNN article today said DeSantis has dropped severely in the polls. Trump has lost some support, too. Tied for second is Halley and Ramaswarmy. Christie is near fourth. So, the anti-Trump, not maga republicans like Halley and Christie. MAGAs like Ramaswarmy. I'm sure they're trying to decide if Ramaswarmy or Halley is better to put against Biden. It's no different than some Democrats trying to decide if Biden or Bernie could beat Trump in 2020.

That's why the Founders were against political parties, but we didn't listen.

Absolutely.
