Definition of "Republicanity"

Republicanity: the calculated melding of the American political right with poorly constructed, spiritually empty Christian theology so that the blind adherent loses track of where one ends and the other begins, thereby (1) fallaciously allowing Republicanism to claim the moral high ground above the Democratic party in all things political and (2) socially demonizing Democratic party members in the process

No, Evangelicals, You Haven’t “Forgiven” Trump

Here’s a little reminder from the Bible:


So, a couple of conditionals and commands:
(1) If someone (like Trump, maybe?) sins, call him out!
(2) And IF that someone then repents, THEN you should forgive him.

Here are the problems:
(1) Evangelicals have ignored the first command entirely when it comes to Trump.
(2) And then, because Trump has specifically said that he has literally NOTHING for which to ask forgiveness, then he hasn’t repented, so Christians cannot forgive him.

Both of these problems add up to evangelicals’ blatant ignorance of their own sacred text, their Christ’s specific teachings, and their new king’s (i.e., Trump’s) anti-Christian antics.

For shame.
