Family values

Trump has five kids with three different wives and cheated on all three of them.

Pete Hegseth has seven kids by three different women and cheated on all of them.

Elon Musk has twelve kids with three different women and cheated on all of them.

And these are the people who are held up by “Christians” preaching “family values” as men we should follow, respect, and emulate?

The majority of conservatives are 'Christians'.

Make of that what you will.

Conservatives and 'Christians' what to force you to follow their religion and policies.

They do not believe in democracy or freedom of choice.

They want the U.S. to become a theocracy governed by 'Christian' corporations.

I don't want to rush to judgement, but I have to question the morals of those who can't tolerate gay people loving each other but don't blink an eye at adultery and even rape.

Could it be that their reason for voting for a convicted felon who was adjudicated for sexual assault, committed multiple frauds (including a charity), helps the rich, slashes programs for the sick and the poor, demonizes and brutalizes the stranger, and lies all the time, might not be based in Christian values?
