(613 posts)This is absurd.
You expect us to believe Trump is actually targeting evangelitical Christians!
Come on now.
No one for a moment believes that Trump is a born again Christian, or in any manner tied to them (other than trying to win their votes). Nothing he does is ever going to be seen as representing the Christian community.
Perhaps he's dangerous in the sense that he's able to win over the sorts of simplistic people that believe in religious fairy tales, but he's no danger whatsoever to the Evangelist Christians in the US or anywhere else.
He is a danger to Muslims and Hispanics. We're already seeing an uptick in attacks on them.
He's a danger to civil liberties, as is demonstrated by the attacks on people because of their appearance and religions.
He's a danger to the GOP, in the sense his candidacy is their Trojan Horse.
He's a danger to women, don't think I need to explain why, just look at the ones he has around him.
The narrator here goes to a lot of trouble to describe himself as an outsider, looking in. I would suggest he's not only an outsider, but also out there, if he thinks any logical or reasonable human being is going to believe this nonsense.
Trump is out to destroy the Evangelist Christian Church, sure he is. And I've some lovely ocean front property on the east side of the Rocky Mountains I'm certain you would love. My asking price is very reasonable.

(2,065 posts)that his whole thesis of Trump's being a danger to evangelical Christians is a pile of baloney. As you said, Trump is not an evangelical Christian himself, but is definitely trying to win their votes, and succeeding well at doing so. And, as you point out, as simplistic as that voting block is, that's not a hard thing to do. I would say that the maker of this video is obviously an evangelical Christian from the UK with a paranoid persecution complex - not unlike the millions of evangelical Christians in this country who believe that the whole "secular humanist" world is out to get them.
