Some of the worst people in the country. I was raised evangelical, even the folks I know who were decent on an interpersonal level would never consider voting for anyone other than Republicans.

    I was wondering who still voted R a few days ago here on Lemmy; I surmised that it was mostly Christian fundies.

    Nailed it.

    They’re the absolute best at denial and tolerating (celebrating?) dirtbag pederasts.

    Do you see that huge drift of independents to left? That’s why you won. We’re the largest voting block of them all (according to Pew and everybody else)

    Death cult leaning into the party of death, to nobody’s surprise.

    Since they want martyrdom so badly, why don’t we grant it to them?

    The white uneducated male still supported the GOP by and large even if they moved towards blue slightly. The only reason why majority of the men voted for for the Dems is because of young men and non-white men especially the black men. It’s the young, non-white, women and the educated who saved the day. Also in the senate race in swing states the majority of men still voted for Republicans https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/elections/voter-trends-national.html

    These people have a person in a position of trust and authority telling them a few times a week that the Democrats are going to force you to have a trans litter box in your living room. They are completely divorced from reality.

      I saw a sticker on an electrical junction box yesterday: “END RACISM AND HATE: stop voting for democrats”. Had to rub my eyes and blink a few times.

      I think the particular characteristic of evangelicals is that being divorced from reality and isolated from dissenting voices is exactly what they aspire to. The more obviously wrong a position is, the more giddily you hold to it. It’s all a test of faith. Reality is the devil’s domain.

        The reason white (and Hispanic) evangelicals are so popular with fascists is that they have been identified by analytics as one of the most gullible of populations.

    I’m curious about why “White evangelicals” and “Catholics” are the only clear religious identifiers on this. Even just within Christianity there’s a lot more variation than those two.

    All the white evangelicals I have known have been the worst people I have ever met. I’ve never met any of their nasty fundamentalist jewish or muslim counterparts in countries they control, but I bet it’s an abrahamic thing.

    yhwh just makes everything worse the closer you get to him. The only good followers I’ve ever known ignore like 75% of their religion’s commands.

      I’m no fan of imaginary friends in the sky, but it’s a human thing. Consider the gentle Buddhists in Sri Lanka and in Myanmar, having committed genocides against Tamils and Rohingya Muslims, respectively. And let’s not forget the massacres of Indian Muslims by peaceful, vegetarian Hindu extremists.

      And if you think it’s only the religious who do atrocities, consider the Holodomor and the Great Leap Forward.

      Power is the problem, exacerbated by the human propensity to believe what they’re told.
