That pretty much covers it.
OK christians, tell me how this is not hypocrisy.
For what it's worth, I think it absolutely is hypocrisy.
I don't have a problem with those who begrudgingly voted for Trump because they saw him as the lesser of 2 evils. I may not agree with their decision, but it doesn't effect their character to me.
But I find myself very frustrated with those who value Christian principles but then actually claim Trump somehow represents Christian principles. From what it seems, Trump represents nothing but himself, and is for nothing but himself. There is nothing more anti Christian than that.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
