Belacqua doesn't support Trump because of his racism & misogyny, but because Belacqua hates the US and wants to see Americans suffer. And when Trump appoints anti-vaxxers as head of the FDA and crashes the economy with his idiotic tariffs, the Americans will be dying left and right which will make him happy.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
