God, Guns, The Bible and Walmart

They are popular with Trump supporters but they are also popular with others. Especially wal mart, guns, and God in some way or another.

God and the Bible, both are awesome and a big part of my life.
Guns, I’ve been around them my whole life and whether it’s hunting with my dad or brother or just to target shoot for fun they are just inanimate objects. The more you use them the more comfortable you get.
Wal-mart is ok, so is Target. I don’t shop at wal mart for clothes or anything like that but it’s fine for basic stuff or needs.
I voted for Cruz in the primary and didn’t vote for Trump in the general election. Basically I was one of those criticized never Trumpers. I don’t know if I will vote for him in two years but we will see how he continues to do.

Thanks for sharing. I, by no means, meant to imply that if an individual likes those things they are automatically a Trump believer.

And note, I did not say Trump supporter. There are a lot of people who support him, but feel he is not to be believed on everything. That's strange, but so is politics.

I was specifically referring to those who believe that Trump has never lied, and always tells the truth.

If they believe Trump, it is likely they like those things.

Personally, I believe there is a very good life to be had without any of them.

And we came so close, but we really missed out on two potentially great presidents, Al Gore and Bernie Sanders. Our country would be far greater had we elected Al Gore instead of W, and Sanders instead of either Hillary or Trump. But we didn't, and now we are on a skyrocketing path to unsustainable national debt growth at a time when we should tax the rich more and pay down the debt.

And most other Americans:

Wal-Mart: 140 million Americans per week
American households with guns: 42%
Americans owning a Bible: 88%
Americans who believe in God: 90%

Trump voters have those things in common with most Americans

you pulled those numbers out of your ass Cletus

white goyim are hovering near 40% of the population


the walmart crowd, and this was two years ago

white Christians, once predominant in the country’s religious life, now comprise only 43 percent of the population, according to the Public Religion Research Institute, or PRRI, a polling organization based in Washington. Four decades ago, about eight in 10 Americans were white Christians.

I like the God of Pope Francis, I like vintage military weaponry, I like the Bible as an important piece of cultural and historical literature (and I like the Jesus of the New Testament), and I like Walmart for a lot of life's basic essentials.

So, I actually do not think those are the main distinctions between a liberal like me, and subservient Trump boot-lickers.


I think the fundamental distinctions are:

Their loyalty is pledged to the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin.
I despise Vladimir Putin, and pledge eternal hostility to all authoritarian government everywhere.

They hate democracy, despise a free press, and seek to thwart the will of the people.
I have an affinity for democracy, democratic institutions, and a free press.

They value ignorance and arrogance, and they hold higher education in low esteem.
I abhor ignorance, I respect humility and moderation, and I think the quest for scholarly knowledge is the epitome of human achievement.

I hear there's some brown and black people who go for those things, as well. Everyone can't be a POS like you.

I think your numbers are off.

"A 2001 survey directed by Dr. Ariela Keysar for the City University of New York indicated that, amongst the more than 100 categories of response, "no religious identification" had the greatest increase in population in both absolute and percentage terms. This category included atheists, agnostics, humanists, and others with no stated religious preferences. Figures are up from 14.3 million in 1990 to 34.2 million in 2008, representing an increase from 8% of the total population in 1990 to 15% in 2008.[52] A nationwide Pew Research study published in 2008 put the figure of unaffiliated persons at 16.1%,[87] while another Pew study published in 2012 was described as placing the proportion at about 20% overall and roughly 33% for the 18–29-year-old demographic"

A third of the 18-29 demographic: no religious preference.

20% overall.

And those are old figures.

The numbers have been rising strongly for Atheism.

And that makes sense.

There is a perfectly good life to be had without God.

There is nothing wrong with somebody just because they don't believe.

And conversely, there are a LOT of highly immoral people who go to church and claim to be religious. Has the Catholic religion ever managed to end the gay pedophilia perpetrated by their high priests?
